Durden and Ray presents Simultaneous Contrast in July. The exhibition, an exchange show with Chicago’s LVL3 gallery, features three Los Angeles artists and two Chicago artists in a show of abstract paintings that symbolize the current violent swings of thought across the country regarding America’s simultaneous utopia and dystopia.
Each of the artists in the exhibition use modern abstract languages to explore simultaneously contrasting visual ideas. They paint works of extreme beauty that they then blight in small ways to create stunning art
Curated by Durden and Ray member Curtis Stage and Chicago’s Adam Scott (in collaboration with Vincent Uribe of LVL3) the show features artists Roberta Gentry (L.A.), Nano Rubio (L.A.), Zoe Nelson (Chicago), Adam Scott (Chicago) and Chris Trueman (L.A.).
