Shulamit Nazarian is pleased to present Catch and Release, a solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Summer Wheat. This will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Wheat’s paintings present a tradition in which women were the original hunters, technologists, and artists, and Catch and Release continues her exploration of this archetype and its many variations. The series depicts women catching and releasing fish as a symbol of fertility, creation, and transformation. In connecting to water and its creatures, the subjects demonstrate an inherent link to natural elements and to the intricate depths of the unconscious.
