Visual O
Mash Gallery continues its smash hits of stunning summer exhibitions with VISUAL O, an arresting kaleidoscope of works by established artists at the top of their game. VISUAL O opens August 21.
Haleh Mashian, MASH Gallery founder, has curated the highlight of the Los Angeles summer exhibitions, VISUAL O. VISUAL O stands for 鈥淰isual Orgasm,鈥� a state of being Mashian defines as the moment 鈥渢he artist becomes one with the piece and stops the process of creating and lets the painting take over.鈥� Mashian connects the release of orgasms as the space between thought and physicality. 鈥淭here is no 鈥榤ind鈥� in an orgasm. That is one of the reasons it鈥檚 pleasurable,鈥� Mashian enlightens. 鈥淚t starts with the physical and becomes an expression of the divine.鈥�
VISUAL O features the works of Andy Moses, Chase Langford, Kenny Nguyen, LISA BETH OLDER, Lisa Schulte, ROBERT STANDISH, MICHELLE BENOIT, JOHN MONN, and HALEH MASHIAN. Shown together in juxtaposition, VISUAL O is an orgasmic attack on the visual sense. Each artist works with the vibrancy of acrylics with startling results. Venice artist, Andy Moses, harnesses the viscosity of the acrylic paint itself as a way of painting. His circular works represent abstract landscapes in globe form: a world in a marble. Los Angeles-based artist, Chase Langford, invented Geographic Expressionism, the next iteration of abstract expressionism, which uses a cartographic language of the natural world as inspiration. Mixed media sculptor, Kenny Nguyen hand weaves silk and other materials creating rippling surfaces and textures. Lisa Beth Older鈥檚 perspective of dense abstraction reveals a controlled abandonment. Well-known neon artist, Lisa Schulte鈥檚 newest work plays with geometric dimension and fluid rigidity. Mashian鈥檚 work from the Rose Series, re-interprets the singular beauty of the rose to the point of abstraction. What is at first a familiar flora is depicted as a strange landscape鈥攂oth new and alluring.
