Laura Owens exhibition at MoCA LA [ exhibitions ]
i just saw the laura owens exhibition at MoCA. the pictures are beautiful, flat, graphic, airy, open, light, and occasionaly collaborative. many works are quite large and are (again) questioning the traditional concepts of painting. owens is the youngest artist (by many years) that MoCA has exhibited in such depth. MoCA's chief currator, Paul Schimmel, and art historian Thomas Lawson from calarts seems to defend this choice in thier catalog essays. as they well should.

Garside and Trotter.
"There are many different ways to understand an image, but for me it [the painting] has an almost Asian composition and I like the fact that the flower is flat and yet everything else is dimensional. I think it's elegant," said Georga Garside, senior, art major who attended the opening.
Trotter spoke highly of the painting as well.
"You are very aware of her hand, very conscious of the art. Her painting is so deliberate."
