Bay Area painter, Tom McKinley's sense of humor is finely displayed in his most recent exhibition at the Berggruen Gallery in San Francisco. While maintaining an obvious affection for modernism, his paintings poke at the form's sterility and lifelessness. Call it an homage/smack. The exhibition runs through May 3rd. Wish I could afford a couple.

Reminds me of Hockney.
It is reminiscent of Hockney. They both get the light, but where Hockney sees something vaguely dangerous, McKinley focuses on the modernism and sees the humor of the sterility. I like both of them.
