Kevin Specht is a self-taught painter whose vibrant landscapes and figurative paintings utilize impressionist brushstrokes and heavily saturated palettes drawing inspiration from historical movements such as fauvism and expressionism. Working primarily in acrylics and oils, he introduces a narrative quality into otherwise simple environments that produce hallucinatory and atmospheric scenes. These landscapes and figurative works can exist between representation and partial abstraction creating a magical surrealist quality to the environment suggesting that a transformation is taking place. _____ We are thrilled to present the brand-new exhibition of Tennessee-based artist Jonathan Edelhuber at our Los Angeles location from 1 April to 7 May 2023 with the opening reception on the 1st from 5 - 8 pm. Warmer Mornings Sharper Nights features thirteen paintings, oil and acrylic, and six sculptures, wood, that celebrate the ecstatic joy of existence. Brightly colored, highly textured, and densely layered, the skulls, rendered in the artist’s signature graphic pop-art style, vibrate with life. Their various expressions evoke feelings often reserved for those with nose cartilage still intact, like delight, amusement, and surprise, and encourage viewers to imagine them laughing, jesting, or conversing.
