This exhibition is a collection of contemporary figurative paintings composed by southern California artists. All are using the conventions of their predecessors to create something all together new and inventive. Through the ghosts of art history they are using the figure as a springboard to lift them to new horizons in their work. There is a re-birth in figurative art and these artists are among the leaders in its transition from the academic mundane to modern risk taking.

Artists: Kent Twitchell, Rebecca Campbell, Justin Bower, Kent Williams, DJ Hall, F. Scott Hess, Sean Cheetham, Joseph Todorovitch, Natalia Fabia, Leslie Brown, Eric Pedersen, Dan McCaw, Virginia Broersma, Chris Gwaltney, Rogelio Manzo, Seamus Conley, Suzanne Unrein, Steven Assael, Richard Morris, Aaron Westerberg, Marc Trujillo, Sergio Sanchez and sculptures by Peter Zhang.

KENTWILLIAMS: EKLEKTIKOS
Features paintings created from 2007-2011

In Kent Williams: Eklektikos, art critic Peter Frank explains, “To view a Kent Williams painting is to believe yourself in it – or, more precisely, to believe yourself in it and out of (if near) it at the same time, suspended between levels of reality just as the paintings’ subjects clearly are. These are not pictures to look at from a safe remove, but conditions – physical conditions, spatial conditions, mental conditions, emotional conditions, human conditions. And these conditions affect all who witness them, whether in them or before them. They have to: they speak to us of us, and must do so about us, not merely at us.”

Essays by Peter Frank and Alex Ross
12×10 in; Hardcover, 68 pages, full color images throughout
Published by Allen Spiegel Fine Arts
$49.50 + shipping and handling

Book Signing

Saturday, June 18, 2011
1:00 - 4:00 PM
Wine and refreshments


Merry Karnowsky Gallery has made arrangements to have a number of advanced copies of Kent Williams' new book Eklektikos available on the closing day of the artist's exhibition Convergence. Kent will be available from 1 - 4 PM this Saturday, June 18th to chat and dedicate his new monograph.

The gallery is pleased to offer a free exhibition poster for each book purchase, as well as a free poster for the first 35 people in attendance.

Following his much anticipated monograph Amalgam released in 2007, Eklektikos features paintings created over the past four years including a number of the works in the current exhibition.

Los Angeles art critic Peter Frank explains in his essay from the book, "To view a Kent Williams painting is to believe yourself in it – or, more precisely, to believe yourself in it and out of (if near) it at the same time, suspended between levels of reality just as the paintings’ subjects clearly are. These are not pictures to look at from a safe remove; they are conditions – physical conditions, spatial conditions, mental conditions, emotional conditions, human conditions. And these conditions affect all who witness them, whether in them or before them. They have to: they speak to us of us, and must do so about us, not merely at us."

If you cannot attend, please call the gallery at 323.933.4408 to reserve a signed copy.
