L.A. Louver is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Don Suggs (1945-2019) from March 11 to May 2. Titled Face-Off, the exhibition includes never-before-seen paintings created by Suggs 2017-2019. In this series, Suggs superimposed delineated figurative forms over colorful geometric abstractions. The underlying shapes appear to influence the characteristics and positioning of the graphic characters, which are staged in various stages of confrontation and emotion. In several works faces are fractured with line renderings of anthropomorphized trees and animal forms, while others include disembodied human hands and masks; all are marked with the same sharp-witted irreverent intellect and intense interrogation that is a hallmark of Suggs’ long career as an artist.
