Review for The Nature of LA

Four southerners ponder the human condition.
By DeWitt Cheng

May 7, 2008

We Bay Area chauvinists occasionally feel the need to compare the Best Place on Earth to NYC or LA, nice places to visit, certainly, but somehow (sniff) unsuitable. There's finicky regional essentialism in our art world, too, painting LA as the Other: our shallow, giddy dark side, the antipodean land of the 101 and the 5. In reality, however, regional style in this digital age global art market is pretty much extinct; the art map for better or worse has no center(s). In The Nature of LA, Angelenos Samantha Fields, Portia Hein, Stas Orlovski, and Andre Yi examine our human condition, within and apart from nature, in universal, metaphorical terms, from their diffuse, suburban, austral megalopolis.

Fields' airbrushed acrylics of opulent but menacing skies derive from her adventures in Midwestern photographic storm-chasing. An ardent environmentalist, she sees her synthesized but convincing skyscapes — roiling, furrowed, knotted clouds set above shards of silhouetted terrain, or enveloping tiny airplanes or helicopters — as falling within the Hudson River School of moralized transcendentalist landscape, embodying messages for us latter-day materialists: awe at nature's might, and awfulness for what we have wrought and brought on ourselves. Hein's untitled oil and watercolors look at nature from an environmental angle as well (she cites John Muir as an influence), but, with their simplified drawing, reduced palette, use of collaged elements, and air of reconstruction based on memory, they're iconic, symbolic depictions of the landscape as a force for renewal and growth; her trees are vaguely anthropomorphic, and her rays of sunlight something more than just scenic optical effects; nature's our last best hope. Orlovski's mixed-media works draw on a wide range of imagery to explore the recontextualization of fragments; in "Sculpture with Butterflies," a pedestal holding a toppled marble woman's head stands amid shattered torsos and legs while butterflies, metaphors for metamorphosis, alight and flutter. Orlovski's recurring birds, moons, fragmented architecture, and scale disjunctures recall Cornell and Ernst, who also mined the past, respectively (but not respectfully), for poetic nostalgia and philosophical subversion. Yi draws the abandoned mining infrastructure of the American West — mines, sheds, etc. — in a style combining detailed Western realism with Eastern orthogonal perspective, infinite space (though here painted in muted neutrals), and swirling scroll-like forms suggestive of water, wind, dragons, and time's vicissitudes; eternity pervades temporality.

Traywick Contemporary is pleased to present The Nature of LA, an exhibition featuring four Los Angeles-based painters whose work is brimming with social and environmental awareness. As a group, the work reflects an enchantment with the life of the natural world while addressing the paradoxical experience of the contemporary American landscape.

Samantha Fields paints "environmental dramas of Shakespearean proportions," as described by Joe Lewis in a recent Art In America review. Fields chases storms and disasters (such as the recent LA fires), taking photographs that later become the source imagery for her "unrestrained atmospheric landscapes." Her awe-inspiring paintings raise awareness of a responsibility to our shared landscape.

Bay area native Portia Hein is also interested in human interaction with the natural world. Her heavily painted surfaces are built up from layers of scraped and palette-knifed paint. By abstracting and flattening out the landscape she focuses our attention on singular elements of nature (tree trunks, sun rays) embuing them with a life-force and power that reaches beyond the canvas.

Moldovian-born Stas Orlovski shows intricately drawn, painted and collaged scenes reflecting his diverse inspirations, which range from Russian children's books to Victorian engravings, and from Japanese prints to Dutch botanical illustrations. He re-imagines these historical sources to create secluded landscapes where human, animal and botanical life intersect in unexpected ways.

Texas native Andre Yi explores the precarious relationship between architecture and the landscape. His delicate renderings of crumbling, solitary buildings float ghost-like, in monochromatic color fields. The spare landscapes create beauty out of something wasted and remind us of nature's awesome ability to reclaim the land after civilization's departure.

Solo Show at Carl Berg Gallery, Los Angeles

From God to Gold
November 29, 2006 - December 29, 2006
Reception: Saturday, December 2, 6-9 p.m.
Tuesday – Saturday 11-6 or by appointment

gallery.carlberggallery.com

In his third solo show with the gallery, Andre Yi explores American mining towns of the late-nineteenth century west. As in his previous work, Yi illustrates his interest in landscape and architecture and the relationship between them. Defined by expanses of color on the canvas, the landscape is minimal, only offering such elements as spruce and pine tree lines that play on the surface of the canvas. The architecture of mining towns is stripped of the aesthetic forms and considerations that make up modern architecture. These mines and buildings were created for the sole purpose of extracting a finite quantity of ore, and when these resources are gone, so goes the town. The beauty of these mines and buildings are captured in Yi’s paintings, but as in nature, these structures become reabsorbed by its environment.

Unlike its architectural counterparts, the flowing marks covering the surface of the canvas are mysterious and hard to define as representational elements. At once referenced by Asian prints of the mid-nineteenth century and American Expressionists of the twentieth century, these marks express the mood of the landscape. Since to understand a place, a viewer can experience it both through representation and expression. The viewer may see these marks as the wind and dust that flows through these forgotten mining towns, or perhaps simply as a raw expression of these landscapes.

Whether nature is God or God’s creation, the untouched landscape presents something awesome and fantastic. For Gold, Silver and other minerals, these towns have left their scars on the landscape. Yi’s paintings serve to illustrate these architectural structures, as well as the nature that slowly reclaims it

Fair Exchange - Millard Sheets Gallery

Fair Exchange
8 September through 1 October 2005

Millard Sheets Gallery on the L.A. County Fairgrounds

Irene Tsatsos, Exhibition Curator
Glenn Phillips, Jeff Cain, Julie Deamer, Veronica Wiman, Consulting Curators

The exhibition will feature examples of the newest and most innovative artworks by artists who live and work in the Los Angeles area, who also happen to produce artwork that in some way relates to the activities for which fairs are known. Many contemporary artists are bringing contemporary aesthetics and practices to traditional craft, design, the home arts, and even agriculture—all subjects celebrated at the L.A. County Fair. This cultural exchange provides an exciting opportunity for these artists to work in tandem with some of the Fair’s other more traditional exhibitors in locations throughout the Fair. This exhibit also has the potential to demystify the world of contemporary art, and to help make this art meaningful and relevant to the Fair’s 1.3 million annual visitors.

Lisa Anne Auerbach, Enid Baxter Blader, Nao Bustamante, Jeff Cain and Shed Research Institute, Gary Cannone for Outpost for Contemporary Art, Civic Matters, Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn, Karl Erickson, Fallen Fruit / David Burns, Matias Viegener, and Austin Young, Robert Fontenot, Fritz Haeg and Gardenlab, Institute For Figuring , Adrià Julià, Martin Kersels, Karen Kimmel

Showing at Palm Springs Art Museum of L.J. Cella Collection

A Point of Convergence: Architectural Drawings and Photographs from
the L.J. Cella Collection

June 3, 2006 through January 21, 2007
Faudé Gallery (McCallum Wing)

Today most architects rely on the computer for their drawings, but many still enjoy sketching freehand to express their ideas. The hand of the architect, like the hand of an artist, reveals the thought process–the development of initial concepts that will be fully conceived later in architectural renderings. This exhibition contains drawings by Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind and Richard Neutra as well as site specific drawings by Robert Irwin, Chris Burden and Lawrence Halprin.

San Francisco collector L.J. Cella has amassed a fine collection of architects’ and artists’ drawings and photographs which continues to grow. By keeping a tight focus on his collecting interests, Cella assembles two-dimensional images of built form as a way of providing us a point of convergence in understanding form and architecture

LA WEEKLY Review of Plainer Show

LA WEEKLY
March 2006

Given its fabulous and multifarious terrains and climates, California has inspired more than its share of landscape-oriented art. Back a century, British-born William Lees Judson cranked out a virtual pictorial record of our meadows, mountains and deserts in a sensitive, agreeable quasi-impressionist manner. Not especially flashy or virtuosic, Judson, founder of USC’s School of Fine Arts, had a knack for letting space and nature speak for themselves through his brush. His landscapes, on view at the Torrance Art Museum, are not simply seen, but sensed. The same is true — in far different ways, of course — of the artists in another exhibit at the museum: “Plainer,” an eclectic grouping of contemporary Angelenos who mediate between the effects of nature and those of civilization. Whether photographing, painting, drawing, sculpting or installing, the 15 artists conflate catastrophe, ecstasy, banality and poetry in sometimes witty, sometimes gloomy, sometimes urgent reaction to what they see around them. We live in a pretty scary place, they seem to agree, and the only thing more terrifying than the rawness of nature is our encroachment upon it. Including such droll and dramatic picturemakers as Karen Carson, Portia Hein, Kaucyila Brooke, Lucas Reiner, Cynthia Hooper, Andre Yi, Susan Logoreci, Justin Moore and Constance Mallinson, “Plainer” reminds us that our air isn’t so plain anymore. Open Tues.-Sat., noon-6 p.m.; thru March 11. (Peter Frank)

Solo Show at Galerie Schuster and Scheurman, Berlin

Opening Reception - Friday, November 11th, 2005

Show Dates
November 11th - December 23rd

If you happen to be in Berlin at this time, please stop by, I don't know that many Germans.



Statement

This body of work depicts the architecture and natural wonders in and around Death Valley, Panamint Valley and Amargosa Valley, California. At once beautiful and foreboding, the desolate and mysterious landscape, dotted by mining structures and architectural ruins, suggest a beauty whose extreme nature has pushed humanity back beyond its borders. The desert that once supported towns filled with miners in search of borax, salt and gold, is left only with visitors exploring and re-exploring this vast landscape.

There is a quietness involved in these paintings, displaying the timeless quality of the valley in stark contrast to the tenuous nature of human architecture. Inside fields of color reflected in the desert landscape, these drawings of mining structures and abandoned towns are covered with gestural markings that suggest the quiet and erratic environment of the Death Valley area.

LA Confidential by Alex Worman

Andre Yi and Carl Berg

description of Solo Show with Carl Berg

http://www.artnet.com/magazine/reviews/worman/worman12-2-03.asp

Cached version (on my site)

Down the block at the new Carl Berg Gallery (6018 Wilshire Blvd.), Berg is showing work from Los Angeles artist Andre Yi, an MFA graduate from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. The exhibition, entitled "Floating City," features eight works, all acrylic, ink and colored pencil on paper, depicting the sort of lower middle-class homes and food stands found in the diverse melting pot neighborhoods located between Beverly Hills and Downtown L.A.

Yi's lovingly detailed structures make up only a small part of the works, which have lots of negative space (like the minimalist drawings by Toba Khedoori) and are set against a background of muted earth tones. All the works also feature distinct squiggly lines usually associated with water in Japanese wood block prints, but in Yi's paintings they signify L.A.'s notorious smog conditions. Price: $1,800-$5,000. The show remains on view through Dec. December 20, 2003.
