The highly anticipated shows of Michael Sieben and Cody Hudson entitled Heroes for Ghosts andThe highly Save My Life respectively opened last night at Upper Playground’s FIFTY24SF Gallery, fulfilling all expectations created around these two prolific artists.

"Sieben explores the compromises we make when transitioning from childhood into adulthood in Heroes for Ghosts. In his signature technique, a blend of children’s book illustration and skateboarding graphic design, Sieben created a series of parables that are familiar and unsettling at the same time.

Hudson’s work centers on the theme of the human condition, exploring the concepts of both euphoria and impending doom. Save My Life highlights new paintings on wood panels, framed drawings, and unique sculptural installations that Hudson created utilizing materials collected in San Francisco in the days preceding yesterday’s opening."
