Lucia Love “Reflecting Pool”
CUE Art Foundation
This event has ended.
Love transforms a common object, a party straw, into an immersive installation of dark and peculiar forms, relying on a careful balance of the comical, the strange, and the violent. Love received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts and has exhibited internationally in venues such as Family Business, the Last Brucennial, Spring/Break Art Show, and B2OA gallery. This marks her first solo exhibition in New York City.
From the artist’s statement:
“Fantasy is the driving force behind all human endeavors… Every invention is born from the marriage of vision and necessity. The combination of an [aggressive] object like a knife with a generally passive object like a party straw, creates a surreal opening in logic. New possible courses of action arise through its creation… Its function is invented by its creation.
Successful fantasies defy the logic of the time they are born into, and reveal our physical landscape to yield infinite combinations of actions, gestures, plot points, and sensations.”
