Marking an unprecedented moment, Ghuloum will discuss Ether DrawingsВ in the context of recent projects and reflect on larger themes of memory, studio practices, and relevancy of art-making in the contemporary moment. Like a form of meditation, the intimate, small-format drawings are made through layering of color and gesture.

ACTION STRINGS NATIVE INSTRUMENTS SERIES

Join Rema Ghuloum & Edward Cella In Conversation LiveДЄnnouncing a new series of live broadcasts from the studios of ECAA artists and community members in dialog highlighting ideas, art-making, and social engagement.В The first features Rema Ghuloum and Edward Cella discussing her online exhibition, Ether Drawings.В Created over a five-week period, they are the result of GhuloumвЂ™s adaptation of her fluid yet intuitive creative process to create a single small format work daily. Random drips and marks become a record of the artistвЂ™s controlled chance and movement, like in Glimpse (Firecracker)В (2019, oil, acrylic, wax and canvas, right above) which features tiny fleck of green amidst larger passes of hot orange and pink. Covering his studio floor with stretched canvases, the artist allows pigments to flow onto the prepared surfaces below. Part of ReinmuthвЂ™s process is letting unexpected possibilities emerge from his well-honed sense of craft. In Glimpse (L.A.)В (2019, oil, acrylic, wax and canvas, left above) and Glimpse (Cool)В (2019, oil, acrylic, wax and canvas, above center) both highlights of the show, colors blend and float into one another in a way that manages to feel both organic and artificial. Making the transient permanent, these works seem to capture images half seen before they whiz by, be they on a screen or over the ocean while the sun sets. The paintings in the series, which feature glimmering passages of color, are particularly resonate for the contemporary viewer who likely balances imagery from real and digital space within his or her purview. The show, which runs through June 4, is the German painterвЂ™s debut exhibition with the gallery and fronts the latest part of the ReinmuthвЂ™s recent вЂњGlimpseвЂќ series.Д¬reated in Berlin, where Reinmuth lives and works, but inspired in part by a 2019 trip to Los Angeles, вЂњGlimpseвЂќ marries the vivid colors of the West CoastвЂ™s sun and surf with the infinite space and flickering luminosity of electronic screens. Matthias Reinmuth: riseВ opens on April 12 at Edward Cella Art+Architecture in the Thomas Lavin Showroom at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles.
