Lorin Gallery, in collaboration with The Art Kollective, is thrilled to present and welcome Vincent Arnold for his first show with Lorin Gallery, called “Hey Bro!” The opening will be on December 9th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 607 N La Brea, Los Angeles, CA 90036. Vincent Arnold was born in 1986 and grew up in Sherbrooke, Canada. where he still lives and works. In 2012, he earned a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Quebec in Montreal. His work has been shown at Lorin Gallery in (Los-Angeles), 19 Karen Contemporary Artspace (Australia), Real Tinsel (Wisconsin), Bellevue Art Museum (Washington), and 0.0.la (Los Angeles). With qualifications in graphic design from Uni-versity du Québec à Montréal, the artist demonstrates a penchant for figurative work where he creates characters eliciting uninten-tional self-portraits. “Hey Bro!” is an exhibition that explores how we currently see masculinity. Arnold's most recent collection of work challenges conventional masculinity and investigates fresh interpretations of this genre in light of #metoo and post-Weinstein. Nevertheless, the Canadian painter expresses and raises questions about this theme without adopting a moralizing tone or imposing their interpretation on the general audience. The stories are focused on this area where humor and tragedy meet, and the people who inhabit this area take up most of the painting's surface, are piled up, and respond to the canvas's four sides. These virile and stoic figures exist while being simultaneously vulnerable by their excessively large eyes which reveal their emotions. In addition, by prioritizing a graphic approach and the use of flat colors, the compositions of the twelve figurative paintings in this exhibition are characterized by the absence of depth in favor of the surface. The exhibition will run from December 9th to December 31st in our La Brea Gallery space. Learn more about the Lorin Gallery https://www.loringallery.com
