Mario Wagner

I always pay attention to the shows that Spoke Art and their sister gallery, Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco, put on. And one recent show at the latter gallery was "A Glow That Transfers Creativity", a solo show by artist and illustrator, Mario Wagner. The exhibition contained technicolour paintings and installations including collage work and TVs.

German born and based in Berkeley, California, Wagner's work effortlessly combines minimalism, sci-fi, hope, despair and nostalgia.

Charles Bukowski - "The Laughing Heart"

This is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful, soulful, life-affirming poems ever written...


The Laughing Heart can be found in Betting on the Muse: Poems and Stories by Charles Bukowski.
