Currently at Steve Turner in Los Angeles is the two person exhibition E-scape, featuring new paintings by Budapest-based Luca Sára Rózsa and weavings by Nairobi-based Dickens Otieno.
From the gallery-
Both artists make works about the environment and humanity’s connection to it. Rózsa uses loose and expressive brush strokes in lustrous color to depict feral humans in nature. Four of her works relate to the elements of fire, water, air and earth while two relate to war and peace. Otieno creates large-scale colorful wall weavings and floor sculptures made of strips of soda cans. Whether depicting a rural or urban scene, he uses aluminum cans to emphasize the impact of humans on the environment. E-scape suggests a new genre of landscape painting, one that conveys the widespread anxiety for our planet’s future.
This exhibition closes on 10/12/24.
