Woodwork, painting, lunch pails, a serial killer and a Disney character all share the spotlight during the “Mr. and Mrs.” art show, running now through Dec. 7 in Kadema Hall?s Else Gallery. The exhibit features the art of husband-and-wife artists Michael Stevens and Suzanne Adan.

The couple first met at Sacramento State in 1966 after enrolling in the same printmaking class. They began dating a year later, and were married in 1970.

As poverty-stricken college students, they began searching thrift stores to find items to use in their art. This is still a clear aspect of their art today.

The show contains an amazing assortment of painting, woodwork, antique toys and metal lunch pails. Stevens, who contributes the majority of the paintings and all of the woodwork, usually combines the two art forms. This allows him to express two separate levels of creativity in each of his pieces.

His most intriguing entry, “Capt?n Ned?s Puppet Theater,” is a dark painting. An ocean exists as a backdrop for two beautifully crafted wooden puppets.

An interesting wooden piece from Stevens is a perfect likeness of the Disney character, Pluto the dog, which stands above an almost unnoticeable picture of Charles Manson.

Adan contributes some paintings that are a little lighter in spirit than Steven?s work, and a very impressive collection of vintage toys. The most memorable selection of the show is the seemingly endless amount of themed metal lunch pails that “Mr. and Mrs.” have managed to stockpile throughout the years.

The pieces of Americana range from “The Fall Guy” and “Land of the Lost” to “Hee Haw” and “The Partridge Family.”

The exhibit is open Mondays through Fridays, from noon to 4:30 p.m.
