"Pop surrealist" painter Isabel Samaras' solo exhibit "Making a Better Yesterday Today" opened Saturday at San Francisco's Varnish Fine Art. The show features her interpretations of classic art with pop culture characters like Batman, Wonder Woman and the Planet of the Apes. She talks about it a bit on her blog where she describes how the exhibit uses QR technology to offer guests an artist's commentary on the show:

If you have a smartphone with a QR (Quick Response) Reader App, you can listen to me yap a bit about each of the new paintings. Just scan the code on the wall by each piece and you’ll hear real actual thoughts that came out of my real actual head via my mouth.

Hit the jump to see a few samples of the paintings, then visit Varnish Fine Art's site to see even more before joining me in lamenting that you don't live in San Francisco. Unless of course you do live in San Francisco, in which case - by all means - rub it in.
