Kristy Luck at Philip Martin Gallery

January 21, 2020 - January 28, 2020
Philip Martin Gallery, 2712 S La Cienega Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90034 United States

On view: January 11–February 22, 2020 Kristy Luck is interested in melancholy. “I’m interested in how these emotional experiences have been dismissed or devalued when associated with the ‘feminine mind,’” she explains in the press release for her exhibition at Phillip Martin in Culver City.

Daniel Dove at Philip Martin Gallery

October 16, 2020 - December 11, 2020

The material, often cast in aluminum, tactically becomes a stand-in for the artist’s own mark-making. The works begin with humble compositions of rope stapled or pinned to a wooden backing.

“Paseo,” the title of Sung Jik Yang’s exhibition at Philip Martin, comes from the Spanish verb, “to promenade.” More specifically, it refers to the outdoor shopping complex in Pasadena of the same name, where Yang meets a number of his portrait subjects. He approaches shoppers from Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, and the Inland Empire, as well as tourists, and asks to photograph them so he can later paint the encounter in his studio. In a solo exhibition of new…
