Ever since they opened up shop in late 2014 in East Sacramento, White Buffalo Gallery has been straight up killing it with their monthly art exhibits. The front half of the space serves as the hip and clean art gallery, and the back half, separated by a perfectly designed partition in the wall, is a spotless tattoo shop where owner Ryan “El Dugi” Lewis and fellow artists/tattooers John Laurent and Kenneth Villanueva do their thing. White Buffalo’s current exhibit, Plush He Think, by the talented 21-year-old local artist Brandon Gastinell, is a must-see for fans of street-influenced, graffiti style, grungy art. Gastinell has 10 original pieces in the show, all canvas, mixed media. They’re bright, bold, edgy and just plain rad. Although the Second Saturday reception has come and gone, the show will remain up through March 8, 2015. Prints and stickers will be available if you can’t fork out the dough for an original. White Buffalo is located at 3671 J Street. Visit them from noon to 8 p.m., Monday through Sunday, or check them out online at White-buffalo-gallery.com.
