"I remember talking to [curator] Rita Gonzalez around the time of 'Phantom Sightings' and describing it as 'Mango Modernism.' I’m, like, give me something with color and a mango print and it makes me happy. But it was also a political move against the hegemony of black and white."

A detail of Carolyn Castaño's "Mantel," 2022. On view in the solo exhibition, "Future Ruana," at Walter Maciel Gallery through Oct. 29, 2022.

Artist Opening Reception:

Date: Saturday, November 10th ,

Time: 4-6pm

Pretty is defined as being attractive in a delicate way. Big connotes a considerable size or intensity. Thing is an object that often has no specific identity but for this exhibition the thing is art.

Pretty Big Things represents the energy of optimism and possibility while embracing beauty, meditation and positive anticipation. After a couple of tumultuous and emotional years in our political spectrum, the desire to experience the simple joy and satisfaction of engaging art work becomes the focus of this exhibition putting aside our thoughts of despair, revolt, anger and fear.

The selection of artworks by six California-based artists generates a conversation of personal intent and working styles that will hopefully result in a movement of high optimism, reflection, action and mobilization for change as a way to empower our community.

[artabovereality]

I stopped by Walter Maciel Gallery today to check out “Gender Renaissance” by Lezley Saar which was an amazing show. I felt a touch of post-genderism in the show which was beautiful in understanding the limitations we as a society put on ourselves because of our gender. Using surrealism and the Victorian and Edwardian eras as a reference, Lezley uses personal experience to control her narrative with her own biracial identity as the narrator.

Rain Dream Gold, campbell laird

Rain Dream Gold addresses California's complex relationship with Water. Painting: Ink on Paper, Wood and Other. Original Artwork. Hand crafted work features printed museum quality, archival resin film fused between optically clear UV plexiglass & aluminum/sintra with a hidden wood frame support. (more details below) Campbell Laird's instinct for modern innovative design forms the basis for his high gloss, archival resin film digital paintings. Created in his studios for over 20 years, first in Tribeca, in New York City, and now in Venice, CA, his hand crafted works feature printed museum quality, archival resin film fused between optically clear UV plexiglass & aluminum/sintra with a hidden wood frame support. It offers a vibrancy and beauty that no other presentation can come close to matching. The highly polished surface illuminates and enhances the translucency & color brilliance of the artwork and the frameless mount creates a floating, expansive, meditative feeling in any environment. It arrives ready to hang with a hand signed Certificate of Authenticity & complete instructions on how to care for it for many viewing years to come! Original Artwork. Exhibition History: Los Angeles Art Association/Gallery 825, CHESTNUT group show juried by Walter Maciel of Walter Maciel Gallery, Los Angeles, CA. Nov 2015.

LA / HIGH BEAMS

HIGH BEAMS January 4 - January 26, 2020 Opening Reception: Saturday, January 4, 2020 from 7-10 pm

[Images]

Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles is pleased to announce an exhibition titled HIGH BEAMS featuring work by Chris Burnside, Christopher Dunlap, Kate Harding, Sarah Heinemann, Gyun Hur, Gabriel Hurier, Andy Kolar, Ryan Scails, and Karen Tepaz curated by Lacey Fekishazy, the founder/director of SARDINE in Brooklyn, New York. There will be a reception for the artists Saturday, January 4, 2020 from 7-10 pm and the show will be on view through Sunday, January 26, 2020.

The title HIGH BEAMS is a literal reference to the setting of an automobile's headlights, which brighten a longer distance in front of the car. This setting is particularly useful on dark roads to avoid accidents and improving vision and therefore driver response. While these beams clarify the more distant road on clear nights at higher speeds, they can also blind other drivers or reduce the vision and speed of the driver in fog, rain, or snow. Curator Lacey Fekishazy chose the artists in this group exhibition for their intuitive insight, long haul dedication to process, and their ability to brighten of the future in a darkening world. While the work is an illumination, it can also accent the invisible just before us.

HIGH BEAMS is part of #ArtistRun2020, a year-long exploration of artist-run spaces from all around the country organized by Tiger Strikes Asteroid and Trestle Gallery. SARDINE is one of 11 artist-run projects asked to curate an exhibition at our various locations with the intention of building relationships and expanding our collective networks. Founded in 2011 by Lacey Fekishazy, SARDINE is a contemporary art gallery in Brooklyn, New York presenting solo exhibitions, small group shows and occasional limited editions by featured artists. SARDINE's modest size is a key asset in the construction of a contemplative, intimate space which has been used to showcase carefully curated collections of work as well as immersive, site-specific installations. What started as a small enterprise has grown into more than 8 years of operation and approximately 69 events and exhibitions. SARDINE has been featured in ArtNews, Artsy, Maake Magazine, The New York Times, Time Out New York, The New Yorker and Hyperallergic.
