Multimedia artist R.K Shuquem has immersed himself in the challenge of creating 50 original 6" x 6" art panels in 50 days, an ambitious undertaking begun on June 8, 2015 commisioned by the Sanchez art center in San Francisco.The night syncs up with the rare occurrence of this year's blue moon, an extra full moon that occurs only once every 2-3 years. Blue Moon 2015 also offers a chance to see the Element Series, a set of four 66" x 60" large format works that Shuquem recently completed for his Medieval Crimes project, a multimedia dystopian fantasy in development since 2011.For the series of 50 panels, Shuquem explores the theme of "jail cells" as a contemplation of psychological and spiritual perspectives, crafting bleak yet mystically evocative black-and-white pieces from India ink. The panels are a continuation of Shuquem's dystopian and fictional production called Medieval Crimes, which uses imagery from the prison industrial complex in a symbolic manner to comment on human identities, relationships and power structures.
