“Live Fast … Die SLO” is the latest lowbrow art event happening at Native Lounge. The viewing is only four days long—Sept. 3 - 6—with a party set for Art After Dark on Friday starting at 7 p.m. Local “it” artists are representin’: Lena Rushing (her painting is pictured), Neal Breton, Richard Fusillo, Christina Gerber (her sculpture is pictured), Francisco Flores, and others. The “reception” (don’t count on a typical wine-and-cheese event) features music with the Hydramatics, Rolled Numbers, and more. Grover Beach resident Gerber, who claims her sculptural piece is a self portrait, states: “Bringing my art into existence since my teens and currently observing and trying new techniques, I am manifesting in an environment that is technically uneducated. Thank you for giving me the ability to express.” Native is located at 1023 Chorro St. in downtown SLO. Info: nativelounge.com.

Anne Stahl and Lorna Teixeira exhibit in September, kicking off with an Art After Dark reception on Sept. 3 from 6 to 9 p.m. Teixeira, whose work is pictured, states, “My work is about exploring color, texture, and mark-making inspired by the inherent beauty of nature’s lyricism. As I hike the mountains and trails of San Luis Obispo each morning, I discover a new treasury of organic inspiration: fantastic mushrooms, bulbous seed pods, and intricate plant life all create a memory map of all my findings, and sometimes I even unload a pocket or two of the goodies I’ve collected, and so begins the journey of creating the story through painting.” See the results at Steynberg Gallery, 1531 Monterey St. in SLO.
