About
**FALSE GODS at The Grand Gallery Oakland** A view into Bill Weber, a.k.a EL GALLO, and his work as a Bay Area muralist and painter who has been creating murals nationwide since 1974. **Venue Location:** 560 2nd St, Jack London Square **Show Dates:** September 1st – 30th **Artist Reception:** Saturday, September 5, Noon – 5pm **Artist Talk:** Saturday, September 12, 1pm – 2pm Bill Weber’s work takes a hard look at government corruption and a decaying civilization. With a dystopian thread, his meticulous technique involving layering color upon color reveals what life can look like given our current trajectory. The details are rich, often depicting corporate, industrial giants as ungainly four-legged creatures roaming a desolate earth, or a nightmarish transport machine with hellish backgrounds. Imagine Heironymous Bach meeting Dali. There you will find El Gallo. **Meet the artist.
