UPCOMING SHOW PREVIEW / HASHIMOTO CONTEMPORARY
12/14 -1/4 San Francisco, CA

J


eremy Fish’s heart is in San Francisco,
his hometown for 25 years. His art
embellishes storefronts from his North
Beach neighborhood to the Pepsi Fan Deck
at Levi’s Stadium, home of the 49ers. He
was the first artist in residence at City
Hall, working from his studio in a storage
closet to produce 100 drawings for the
100 th anniversary of the iconic building.
He was also the first artist in residence
at Coit Tower, around the corner from
his studio, working out of the caretaker’s

apartment at the top of the tower.
His latest series of drawings and paint-
ings of his adopted city will be shown
at Hashimoto Contemporary in San
Francisco, December 14 through January
4, 2020. The works in The Fog Lovers
Club are all in tones of gray celebrating
the enveloping fog that rolls in daily from
the Pacific.
“It’s an intense time to live in San
Francisco,” he explains. “It costs one-third
more to live here than in Manhattan. It’s a

time to show more love for the city.”
Some of his work has been inspired by
the positive take on San Francisco by Joe
Talbot in his award-winning film, The Last
Black Man in San Francisco, 2019, and his
father David Talbot’s book, Season of the
Witch.
His ink drawing You Don’t Get To Hate
It features the home of Jimmie Fails IV,
the film’s protagonist and is titled after
a scene in which Jimmie tells some girls
who are badmouthing the city, “You don’t
