City Beats, Light and Shadow

July 16 - August 12, 2021

Bitfactory Gallery Owner Bill Thomason knew he had met a kindred spirit, when he and fellow artist Jeff Velarde were both participating in a group show at Littleton’s Depot Art Gallery. Upon discussion they realized they had each voted on one another’s work to receive the best-in-show award. This mutual admiration ultimately led to the upcoming solo exhibition of Velarde’s detailed photo-realistic paintings at Bitfactory Gallery. City Beats, Light and Shadow, captures the unique magic of each major city he has visited for his day job as a commercial artist, and the imagined story of
its subjects.
