Lorin Gallery, is pleased to present and welcome again after their successful group show with Lorin Gallery Catherine Haggarty and Larissa De Jesús Negrón for their first duo show in our gallery called “Continuous Present”. The opening will be on December 10th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 807 S. Los Angeles Street. Los Angeles, CA 90014. To say that the pace of artists Catherine Haggarty and Larissa De Jesús Negrón is quick is an understatement. Both artists, based in New York City, work tirelessly and consistently. Their shared interest in the collision of painting and drawing binds both artists together. Their shared interest in pushing the boundaries of spatial logic and bodily references while poking fun at cultural norms fuels the subjectivity of their work. Their dedication to drawing is evident in their representation of objects or outlining of figures. There is an openness to the mediums they use, which allows them to integrate their strengths and limitations in the final painting. For example, the planning and sketching with lines, while still practicing painting on the canvas with color. Both are fascinated by the idea of learning how to draw like a painter and how to paint like a drawer. Amy Sillman’s video - Continuous Present has been an anchor to Catherine’s practice and research for many years.
