'ABOUT THE TIME an artist can afford to walk into the best restaurant in town and order the most expensive steak on the menu he usually doesn't have enough teeth in his head to chew it." This is Charles Krafft quoting himself on one of his signature delftware pieces, Poor Artist's Dinner Palette. Some things never change: At the opening reception for "The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse," I learned the Seattle-based Krafft was crashing that night at the youth hostel around the corner from the Shooting Gallery, where his work is on view with that of Eric Kroll, Winston Smith, and Robert Williams. These lowbrow guys may be a little long in the tooth (somebody referred to this as "The Geritol Show"), but they have as much of a fuck-off attitude as ever. Most of the space is taken up with works from Krafft's Disasterware™, Spone™, and Forgiveness™ series. Krafft learned the Dutch art of delftware – hand-painted, blue and white ceramics – from some old ladies in Seattle in the early '90s. Since then he has made delftware guns, skateboards, knives, grenades, commemorative plaques, and funerary urns. It seems there's no end in sight to what he can apply this precious craft to (Hitler Tea Pot, anyone?). Last Gasp publisher Ron Turner loaned the gallery four of Williams's early works, which aren't exactly his best, and which Williams acknowledged to me on opening night. As the founder of Juxtapoz magazine, Williams is quick to point out his role in shaping the lowbrow (née "pop surrealist") scene at the opening – no need to, his influence is critical and his presence is felt. Fans of montage artist Smith, creator of the Dead Kennedy's DK logo and designer of some of their album covers, will be glad to see a fair number of his works on view. Along with fetish photographer Kroll's large-format photos of women in bondage, pinned rather indecorously to the wall, are bagged panties from models who have appeared in Kroll's photos. Notes are scrawled on the bags: "With Maria 01/09/05" and "Dusty Suicide Girl." This seemingly last-minute installation is oddly effective in its casualness and it's as if Kroll had bagged these girls on the run. Tues.-Fri., noon-7 p.m.; Sat., noon-5 p.m., 839 Larkin, SF.
