Vielmetter Los Angeles is pleased to announce our first exhibition with Los Angeles based artist, Sarah Cain, "The possibility of overcoming negative thought," runs from September 19 - October 31, 2020. Cain, who joined the gallery in 2019, paints exuberant abstractions that often extend beyond the canvas into installations, site-specific painting, stained glass, and furniture that play with and meld references from throughout visual art, music, and our culture at large.... Titled The possibility of overcoming negative thought, the work in this exhibition radiates an urgent and necessary optimism in a moment where we seem to be collectively teetering between infinite possibility and absolute despair. In her new paintings, stained glass work, and collages, Cain is weaving bits of her life into color, abstraction, and spatial intervention.

Gaignard positions her own female body as the chief site of exploration- challenging viewers to navigate the powers and anxieties of intersectional identity. Experience #PublicArt safely!

Currently on view on our website Genevieve Gaignard's solo exhibition "A Long Way From Home," presents a new body of work Gaignard produced while in residence at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. "Home again in rural mill town Massachusetts, Gaignard is confronted with all the ways her artistic migration has changed her and how the events of the world put into perspective the contradictions of her hometown. She seeks the sights and sounds of home. She longs for... another feel, another place, a different space. Gaignard longs for a different place to rest during the historical and political turbulence of COVID-19 and the reemergence of Black Lives Matter protests in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota." - Dr. Taryn D.

Watch Senior Director Ariel Pittman in conversation with artist Mary Kelly about her new work included in our anniversary exhibition. Mary Kelly's World on Fire Timeline, 2020 combines her signature dryer lint works with collage to trace a personal and political history beginning in 1949 with the Soviet Union's development of an atomic bomb through to the Climate Crisis in the present. The work combines personal and political facts in a way that is ultimately non-linear and ...circuitous, reflecting the subjective process of remembering. Kelly's first exhibition with the gallery, "Circa Trilogy", was in 2016.

Monique Van Genderen’s new painting for this exhibition is emblematic of her practice. Van Genderen creates self-consciously aesthetic abstractions that constantly oscillate between painted and printed, spontaneous and pre-fabricated gestures. Including large faux brushstrokes, exaggerated drips, and loosely arranged roller marks, she challenges the historical importance of the lyrical brushstroke. Van Genderen’s first exhibition with the gallery opened in 2011.
