Transfigured.

 “The gifted artists are the great benefactors of the world. Life flows from their souls, from their heart, from their fingers.”  Dominique de Menil (1987)

 

Transfigured. is an exhibition with Jay Kvapil, Sarah Mikenis, Lionel Sabatté, and Evan Whale. We present four artists in four rooms, and include paintings, ceramics, photographs, and sculpture made in Southern California in the past year. The show’s title alludes to each artist’s process of metamorphosis from one form to another, pushing formal traditions in service of the sublime and the subversive. There is an active dialogue between creation and destruction; as a result, the nature of representation itself is both transformed and transformative.
