The "Slow Arrow", a group show of paintings by
four contemporary artists in Los Angeles. The title of the show came
from a quote by Nietzsche, which states, "Principle of longing encounter without
noticing takes total possession of our heart." Sharon Ben-Tal builds an intricate tangle of painted skeins of loops and lines among layered, velvety monochromatic backgrounds. In Jennifer Faist's paintings, a shiny coat of resin tops layers of luminous colors and subtle patterns. Transparent, this layering-rather than a covering up-is more about building up an accumulation of structure of depth and experience. Perhaps as a lucent recognition or simply an undefinable familiarity. Marion Lane's work features organic shapes comprised of candy-colored blobbed and appliqued paint mixtures. She uses free association of process, which intersects between oriented paintings and the subterranean flow of surreal imagery in the everyday, are ideas of her living work. Her works liberate the direct impulses of the unconscious mind. So much of her work is more humorous than portentous. Soojung Park uses repetition of line to create different perspectives in her ink and Plexiglas panels. A single line associates with others on the same plane or on a different plane each with its own sense of being. Importance to the work represented by the "third" perspective, which spaces between the lines creates the occurrence of a perpetual phenomenon. |
