Oakland artist Fernando Reyes' work reminds us of Gustav Klimt gone flash animation -- plus he's obviously seen those flayed-cadaver exhibits too many times. Trippy, ornate shapes hover in space while stylized nude humans crouch in the foreground -- their faces are ripped apart. It's gorgeous; we are suckers for good figure drawing and so should you be. Reyes' opening reception is March 20 at 6 p.m.
