“Unreachable Spring” at Luis De Jesus Los Angeles

October 17, 2020 - December 19, 2020
Luis de Jesus Los Angeles, 1110 Mateo St.
Los Angeles, CA 90021 United States

At Luis De Jesus in Culver City, a group show gathers a loose array of artworks that were made in response to recent events. With so many crises affecting our country, the work diverges in focus, addressing a range of issues: pandemic’s loneliness, the toppling of monuments, and the lives lost to police brutality. Unusually, the gallery has included artist statements next to each artwork, allowing the viewer into the thinking behind each work, and providing a connective personal tone…

Carla Jay Harris at Luis De Jesus

September 4, 2021 - October 30, 2021
Luis de Jesus Los Angeles, 1110 Mateo St.
Los Angeles, CA 90021 United States

In each of Carla Jay Harris’ photographic collages at Luis De Jesus in the Arts District, the artist drops us into an allegorical narrative that is frozen in time.

A closer look, however, reveals familiar materials arranged in haphazard but careful compositions.  The machinery is in fact crafted with objects that Valenzuela finds on the streets of LA — he transforms, for instance, a bucket, the bottom of an office chair, a styrofoam package…

Laura Krifka at Luis De Jesus

April 16, 2022 - May 28, 2022
Luis de Jesus Los Angeles, 1110 Mateo St.
Los Angeles, CA 90021 United States

In Laura Krifka’s new series of hyper-realistic paintings, one becomes hyper-attuned to the act of looking. Various viewing devices (mirrors, windows, binoculars) are met with figures who slyly peer out of blinds, or offer passing glances out at the viewer. Like previous bodies of Krifka’s work, the domestic space is the container for these devious glances, yet there is always the allusion to an “out there” that is more scenic and wild.  Several paintings subtly capture sunrise or sunset, the…
