REVIEW Skewed visionary » John Waters' wonderfully warped world John Waters is a serious artist with a wicked sense of humor. Although he's best known as a filmmaker of cult classics, Waters has had nearly 50 solo art exhibitions at some of the best museums and galleries around the world. Back for his fourth one-man show at San Francisco's Rena Bransten Gallery, Waters offers offbeat sculptures of enlarged Combat Roach Killers, La Mer Moisturizing Cream, and Rush Liquid Incense — aka poppers — and continues his ongoing series of satirical, sequential photos of movie-star legends.

BUZZ Greg Gossel » Appropriated art and pop-culture collage Minneapolis-based artist Greg Gossel continues the tradition of mixed-media pop art with his latest exhibit, Sleepwalking. Gossel uses icons ranging from Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick to this summer's Hollywood-blockbusting Iron Man as centerpieces for his colorful collages. The show, which includes over 30 new pieces printed on wood and canvas, is being held at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco through July 3.
