Carlye Packer gallery showcases Samala Meza's first solo exhibition, 'This Grass is Green', featuring color field paintings that explore femininity as a stylized visual language. The works utilize softly-rendered shapes and repeated motifs to create a dialogue of erotic abstraction, inviting desire while maintaining ambiguity. Influenced by Paul B. Preciado's ideas on visibility, Meza's pieces balance between critique and allure, highlighting the space between performance and desire. The exhibition runs from May 23rd to June 28th at Sidecar in Los Angeles.
Meza's new body of work presents color field paintings that approach femininity as a formal code-flattened, stylized, and distributed across the surface.
Operating within that conceptual weather, Meza's compositions do not depict so much as they circulate. Their softness is intentional, and strategic.
