First Friday Artwalk Featuring “Light Work by Combsy” at Chopsticks Alley Art Gallery at Open San Jose – San Jose, CA

We invite you to join us for a special night of Live Art with Artist Combsy.

“Lights by Combsy “
A Live Art Demonstration

Step into the mesmerizing world of light-based art with artist Combsy, whose dynamic live demonstration transforms illumination into a living canvas. Through layered light, movement, and experimental techniques, Combsy creates immersive visual experiences that blur the boundaries between drawing, performance, and installation. Audiences are invited to witness the creative process in real time as shifting colors and luminous forms evolve into expressive works of art. This interactive presentation offers a rare opportunity to explore how light can shape perception, emotion, and storytelling, revealing the magic of art created beyond traditional materials.

Exhibition on View – “B?u Cua Cá C?p – Gourd Crab Fish Tiger”
Chopsticks Alley Art proudly celebrates eight years of creativity, community, and cultural storytelling. The number eight symbolizes prosperity, harmony, and an unending flow of connection.

Under a theme inspired by the spirit of B?u Cua Cá C?p, the beloved Vietnamese game of chance is often played during T?t Lunar New Year. Played with three dice and six iconic symbols: a gourd, crab, fish, deer, rooster, and prawn, the game evokes luck, risk, anticipation, and joyful unpredictability.

Reflecting these qualities, the exhibition showcases artists and artworks that speak to who they are, how they see the world, and the vibrant diversity of creative expression within our community.

• Exhibition dates: February 6 – May 3, 2026
