Philip Martin Gallery presents "Gravity," featuring new works by Austrian artist Hubert Schmalix and Los Angeles-based Laurie Nye. Schmalix, known for his vibrant, expressive works since the 1980s, explores themes of painting as an investigative practice. His work contrasts the intellectual tendencies of past art. Nye's pieces reflect her intuitive approach to exploring her dual homes in Los Angeles and Tennessee, revealing layers of experience in both real and mythic settings. The exhibit connects both artists in their pursuit of deeper meaning through their distinct, layered styles.
"My work can be interpreted in many ways, of course. And that's a good thing... to work constantly while detaching gravity."
"Schmalix's works are not just pictures; they are also an investigation into how paintings are made, investigating the practice of painting itself."
