Event Description |
St.Louis artist Wiliam Lachance is back this winter for his 2nd solo exhibition after a sell-out show with Madison Gallery in 2021. William embraces the collision of unlike parts to create hybrid experiences and kaleidoscopic color spectrums.
In this new body of work as the title suggests, TIMESHARE expands on the theme of painting’s ability to provide a form of escapism for the artist and viewer alike. The paintings imply but do not comply with traditional motifs of landscape, figuration and pure abstraction- instead they are reimagined and cobbled together using colors and forms more akin to advertising, souvenirs, decorative murals, t-shirt shops and arcades; the visual language of travel. In deploying these vernacular signals, these works present a kind of reverse approach to painting that one could fittingly associate with pop art, but with the formal traits of light and space they simultaneously participate in a formal, classical dialogue.
