INSIDE-OUT

Inside-out is a group exhibition featuring Southern California artists whose practices blur the line between interior and exterior orientation.

Working with both painterly surfaces and spatial installations, Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia and Max King Cap use layering processes to construct spaces and forms. Hurtado Segovia methodically weaves hundreds of painted and sliced strips to assemble double sided paper works. Hung off the wall with irregular edges, Hurtado Segovia’s pieces seem to playfully expand and contract while inviting viewers to gaze upon and walk around these intricate surfaces. Cap’s floor and wall pieces utilize structures and patterns from cathedral architecture, formal gardens and star charts. By integrating distant and intangible constellations with grand, ornate architecture and landscape, Cap produces multilayered picture planes on paper and canvas.

The paintings on paper and canvas by Chet Glaze and Misato Suzuki use popular imagery as a vehicle to merge personal intimacies with external stimuli. In Suzuki’s paintings, flocks of pigeons wander through abstract spaces like pedestrians in urban centers. Environmental forces of confetti-like patterns and translucent color fields direct the flow of these fowl and replace individuality with nomadic unity. Glaze uses imagery from television stills, which seem to fill gaps in experiences and memories. With a focus on the passing of time, the spaces in his paintings present unfolding circumstances and embrace moments of suspended disbelief.
