Regional artists have accordingly been among the most outspoken critics of mainstream, status quo politics. &#8220;Alt-Left: Local Treasures&#8221; is a Bay Area art response to the current national ascendancy of the Alt-Right. It features work by three painters, Mark Bryan, Michael Kerbow and Ariel Parkinson; two collagists, John Hundt and <a href=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/vanessa-woods\" target=\"_blank\">Vanessa Woods<\/a>; and a sculptor, Francisco Jimenez, who comment on history, politics and psychology with both deep feeling and a mordant, absurdist humor.<\/p>\n<p>DeWitt Cheng is an artist, collector, freelance art writer, educator, and curator based in San Francisco.
