Taylor Fine Art is pleased to announce Human Symmetries, featuring the work of celebrated interdisciplinary artists Susan Spector and Nikolas Soren Goodich. The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, August 2, 2025, with a reception from 7–10 PM at the gallery’s Culver City location. This newest presentation at Taylor Fine Art explores literal and figurative perspectives on the human experience both within - and transcending - individual and collective corporeal forms. Nikolas Soren Goodich’s luminous works on glass and plexi explore the paradoxes of perception, consciousness, and identity. Drawing on his Black and Jewish heritage, Goodich creates layered, light-infused pieces that come alive at the intersection of painting, sculpture, printmaking, and installation. His recent bodies of work, Double Inverted Portraits and Luminous Symmetries, use symbolic figuration and organic abstraction to reflect on trauma, healing, and the self as mirrored through others. Goodich has exhibited internationally in both solo and group exhibitions, including presentations at the Museum of Art and History (MOAH), the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the LA Art Show, and Art Karlsruhe in Germany. His public art projects include permanent and temporary installations across LA, Palm Desert, New York, and beyond. He has been featured in Artillery Magazine, Whitehot Magazine, Diversions LA, and RVA Magazine, among others. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University’s BFA program, Goodich’s works are represented in multiple galleries and are held in private collections across the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Brazil. He is also the visionary behind The Luminous Community Center, a proposed socially-engaged public art initiative. Susan Spector has exhibited in New York City and has been featured in solo shows throughout Southern California. In May of 2025, Spector was awarded “Best New Artist” at the prestigious Beverly Hills Art Show. She has been featured in multiple issues of Studio Visit Magazine, Spotlight Magazine, among others. Spector serves as President of Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art, President of SFVACC (a virtual art gallery), and acts as Managing Director of TAG Gallery in Los Angeles. Spector’s current body of work includes linoleum cuts relief-printed on copper and brass whose luster creates a warm, tactile dance between natural sheen and ink covering the surface. Exposed areas oxidize into deep blues and greens, enhancing the materials in mysterious ways as she explores figurative distortion as a way to transcend corporeal likeness and achieve emotional truth. Like the exhibit, Spector isn’t concerned about recreating the human form with anatomical precision, but instead aims to capture the essence of the figure. The art departs from realism to enhance internal vulnerability, tension, and the juxtaposition of presence vs. absence. Exaggerated forms, loose lines, and abstracted gestures reflect how the body feels rather than how it looks. This approach allows the artists to create figures that breathe, pulse, and shift. No longer are they representations of people, but rather expressions of experience. The art is alive.
