Chromatic Scale
Carl Schlosberg Fine Arts and Royale Projects are pleased to announce their collaboration Chromatic Scale featuring Charles Arnoldi, Laddie John Dill, and Ed Moses opening Saturday, May 7 and running through June 25, 2022.
This exhibition explores the aesthetic intersections and shared influences of three acclaimed Los Angeles artists who shaped the city鈥檚 art scene forging a distinctive Southern California sensibility. Exploring themes of light and color central to West Coast art, Arnoldi, Dill, and Moses were all supporters and challengers of each other mining the endless possibilities of their practices.
Arnoldi鈥檚 work employs a wide range of abstract visual language, from hard-edge to fluid, lyrical linework. Considered one of the most prominent painters in Southern California, throughout his career he has been fascinated with shape and pattern experimenting through a multitude of mediums including wood and sticks, acrylic and oil paint on canvas and linen, copper and aluminum, ink, gouache, pencil, charcoal, as well as sculpture. Chromatic Scale focuses on more recent paintings that further develop an enthusiasm for color with palettes that translate nature and architecture into eye-catching compositions.
A key figure in the California Light and Space movement, Laddie John Dill transforms light and earthy materials such as concrete, glass, sand, and metal into luminous sculptures, wall pieces, and installations. At the end of the 1960s he began producing 鈥淟ight Sentences鈥� made out of custom glass tubing and filled with gasses of varying intensities. Argon, neon, helium, xenon, and mercury emanate an array of colors from lush jewel tones to vivid chroma. Varying in combinations of different lengths, the segments of color correlate to words grouped in phrases and sentences suggesting that light itself could be a transcendental language.
