After living in Shanghai for several years, 27-year-old Bay Area artist Aliza Cohen returns home to boast her new series, Bundles & Passages, featuring work that reflects her feelings of time-honored culture shock while living abroad.

She describes her paintings and drawings as a "deep exploration of my experiences traveling throughout China and Southeast Asia, as well as my recent return to San Francisco...this collection of artwork is an attempt to amplify or diffuse the relationships between objects to create poignant moments in paint that illuminate the tension or delight of my personal journey." Groovy. What's more, there will be free booze for all! Don't miss it.

Cohen's homecoming begins tonight at 6 p.m. at 1890 Bryant Street Open Studios; free.
