Good Mother Gallery is pleased to present Night Carries Color, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Lacey Stoffer.
The exhibition title, Night Carries Color, emerges from an interest in what remains present even as it changes, recedes, or becomes obscured. Within the paintings, color is often pushed backward, or surrounded by darker and quieter fields. Night is not understood as an absence or erasure, but as something capable of holding and carrying what came before.
Working with linen, oil paint, hand-dyed yarn, thread, collage, paper-clay pins painted with gouache, and pastel, Stoffer establishes a set of material and aesthetic parameters within which instinct, revision, and physical action can occur. Expansive fields of color, organic forms, and broad gestures are interrupted by yarn sewn directly through the surface, at times veiling painted shapes and creating weight, direction, and texture.
Gallery Hours:
Thursday - Saturday, 11am- 5pm
