Santa Monica, CA– William Turner Gallery is pleased to present Recent Works, an expansive new series of paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Andy Moses. This extensive presentation marks the artist’s first solo exhibition since his highly acclaimed 30 Year Survey exhibition in 2017 at the Santa Monica College Pete and Susan Barrett Art Gallery.
Andy Moses: Recent Works presents an artist fully engaged and at the height of his creative process, showcasing perhaps his most ambitious and diverse body of work to date. Implementing techniques that utilize the artist’s almost obsessive study of the alchemical properties of paint, Moses’s work blurs the line between abstraction and a new kind of pictorialism.
The images reveal undeniable traces of natural phenomena, seeking not to replicate the natural world, but rather to suggest the forces of nature itself. His complex process of mixing and pouring paints conveys a sense of undulating energies pushing and pulling within the rectilinear, circular and hexagonal forms of the canvases themselves.
The paintings are sweeping and luminescent, their lustrous surfaces seemingly executed with an impossible combination of absolute precision and wild improvisation. Meandering lines of psychedelic chroma oscillate between near digital sharpness and dissolving washes of color, achieving works of captivating presence.
Speaking about his work, Moses says, “I want the work to stop you in your tracks, to shake you out of your head and into the moment, into the present, where you can become receptive to a more meditative experience that hopefully begins to attune you to the transcendent beauty of the natural world.”

As evidenced with his 30 Year Survey, Moses has long been fascinated with the forces of nature, both micro and macro, geologic and galactic. This new series expands on these themes magnificently.
Born in Los Angeles in 1962, Andy Moses attended the legendary CalArts, studying with John Baldessari, Michael Asher and Barbara Kruger. In 1982, Moses moved to New York where he worked as a studio assistant to Pat Steir. He quickly became part of the nascent 80s art scene, and became one of the youngest artists to exhibit with Annina Nosei gallery after Jean-Michael Basquitat. During that time he developed close ties with then emerging artists like Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, Rudolf Stingel and Christopher Wool. Moses returned to California in 2000, and really began to refine his explorations into the physical properties of paint that have brought him to the attention of museums and major collectors alike.
His work is included in the permanent collections of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Orange County Museum of Art, Laguna Art Museum, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. He currently lives and works in Venice, CA.

Milo Reice, “The Caesar Paintings and Other Works”
Gwynn Murrill, “Serpientes”
Marc Trujillo, “Roman Plein Air”
December 5, 2020 - January 23, 2021
Open House: Saturday, December 5, 1-5pm
Masks and social distancing are required
10 visitors maximum in the gallery at any given time
|
In "The Caesar Quintet," Milo Reice reimagines the assassination of Julius Caesar as an analog for current events in the American political scene. Unlike many contemporary thinkpieces, however, Reice envisions Caesar as a symbol of the federal government as a whole.
Gwynn Murrill's "Serpientes" consists of the unique, hand-built and sometimes ruggedly composed twisty coils of ceramic snakes.
Marc Trujillo's series of intimate, fresh paintings of classic Rome may perhaps frame our current culture in Ozymandian perspectives, but they are, more simply, a beautiful expression of the long and inexhaustible tradition of plein-air painting.

Among the most admired and celebrated painters in the Northwest, Portland-based Lucinda Parker will exhibit large and small-scale recent work. Known for her dynamic and colorful abstracted landscapes, Parker has recently focused on mountains. These mountains are punctuated by trademark dashes, lines, and slashes of color as well as masterful handling of acrylic paint.

As we face 2021, with the chaos and discomfort of 2020 rolling into memory, it seems fitting that work by Jeremiah Jenkins will inaugurate a new year of exhibitions at Transmission Gallery. In large part, Jenkins' work is about rebuilding, reimagining and reconstructing a future from the damaged, discarded, distressed accumulations of the past, representing a sort of quirky conglomeration of reality, memory, desire and presence. The work invites a sense of humor, curiosity and hope in facing the uncertainties ahead. Come out to see it in the real, Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 5 pm at Transmission Gallery, current health guidelines permitting.

gloss enamel on aluminum, 29 x 29”
|
Paul Pitsker, "It’s All Arranged"
Lisa Golightly, "Marking Time"
Through January 2, 2021
|
The starting place for Lisa Golightly’s work is decades old found photos. The stillness of a photo belies an anticipation to know what happened before and what is to come next. These images are a literal look back but also force the viewers to evaluate the present and future.
Paul Pitsker’s watercolor paintings combine the tradition of still life with narrative elements exploring themes of confinement, thwarted yearning and looming disaster, subjects that are now too familiar to all of us whose lives have been upended by the coronavirus pandemic. His interest is in "delicate subjects," a term meant not just literally as it applies to insect wings and glassware, but also figuratively, as in a contemplation of the fragility of life or the inevitability of darkness, ideas we usually avoid confronting on a more than occasional basis. His goal is to evoke an atmosphere of disquiet and a sense that the answers to life's most urgent questions might be hidden in plain sight and yet remain unreadable.
