Todd Hido by Evan Orensten

Hido 1 Hido 3

Todd Hido is a SF Bay Area artist and photographer. He is a master with light and color, which helps illuminate the anonymity—of place, of location and of self—that is so central to his work. Who lives in these neighborhoods, in these houses? How did we, the voyeurs, arrive there? We are at once both intrigued and drawn away. The images are solemn, powerful and intriguing.

Todd shows his work at Stephen Wirtz Gallery, and is repped professionally by Edge Reps (those of you in the U.S. may recognize his recent work for Axe deoderant and soap). All three of these sites have extensive images to check out.

His involved process includes constructing a pond-like set that took over a month...
Basco
He goes by Vasco, Bazko, Vasko or Basco. At 20 years old he still has some time to figure out what his tag should be. But he doesn’t have that much time. Due to his success at the Upper Playground in association with Fifty24SF. The show opens Thursday, 2 March 2006 and runs through 1 April 2006. Look for his simple yet expressive faces,...
Beautiful Crime
"Graffiti is not vandalism, but a beautiful crime," is one of the philosophical pillars that this guerilla gallery operates on. Now that we seem to have stopped arguing whether graffiti is art, we can start to enjoy some of the fine stuff collected by the folks at Beautiful Crime. The current exhibition by San Francisco artist Pure Evil chronicles how a tale of giant...
