The Drugstore Gallery, 3149 Mission St., San Francisco, 94110; 415.282.0554: After the Flood - Paintings by Georgianne Fastaia.
Comment: The paintings are inspired by Hurricane Katrina, Georgianne Fastaia tells me (and also in part by a devastating Connecticut snowstorm of 1972). She's never been to New Orleans, but rather is taken with the idea of floods, their impact, their devastation, what it means to be hopelessly engulfed by water, and even the beauty of natural disaster. She advances her argument not only with her compositions, but also by painting them on abandoned canvases, then framing them with sections of old floorboards, thereby incorporating the idea of rebuilding after a deluge. Priced $225-$1800. Good show, thoughtfully presented and persuasive.
