“I Just Want to See You Underwater”
VICTORI + MO
This event has ended.
“I Just Want to See You Underwater” features the sculptural, wall-based constructions of Brooklyn-based artist Leah Guadagnoli.
Guadagnoli’s three-dimensional wall-based constructions are firmly rooted within the historical context of geometric design through disparate influences as Egyptian hieroglyphics, Islamic and Gothic stained glass, Bauhaus and Swahili architecture, Art Deco and The Memphis Group. Inspired by the patterns and surfaces which recollect the gaudy carpets, seating, and walls found in the waiting rooms and airports, casinos and movie theaters of decades past, Guadagnoli’s work suggests a deliberately ambiguous nostalgia.
Assertively jutting from the wall (often by more than a half-foot), her multi-paneled sculptural paintings break from the traditional picture frame, effectively blurring the line between painting and object. The boisterous physicality of her shaped canvases meld the geometric and the abstract, revealing a brash, dissonant visual language.
