Visual-O

About

VISUAL-O features the works of ANDY MOSES, CHASE LANGFORD, KENNY NGUYEN, LISA BETH OLDER, LISA SHULTE and HALEH MASHIAN. Shown together in juxtaposition, VISUAL-O is an orgasmic attack on the visual sense. Each artist works with the vibrancy of acrylics with startling results. Venice artist, Andy Moses, harnesses the viscosity of the acrylic paint itself as a way of painting. His circular works represent abstract landscapes in globe form: a world in a marble. Los Angeles-based artist, Chase Langford, invented Geographic Expressionism, the next iteration of abstract expressionism, which uses a cartographic language of the natural world as inspiration. Mixed media sculptor Kenny Nguyen hand weaves silk and other materials creating rippling surfaces and textures. Lisa Beth Older’s perspective of dense abstraction reveals a controlled abandonment. Well-known neon artist, Lisa Schulte’s newest work plays with geometric dimension and fluid rigidity. Mashian’s work from the Rose Series re-interprets the singular beauty of the rose to the point of abstraction. What is at first a familiar flora is depicted as a strange landscape—both new and alluring.
