GALLERY | MUSIC | $12 SUGGESTED DONATION | ALL AGES | Join us for the opening reception of Nina Forman’s solo exhibition, Keepshapes. As well as being a familiar face in local band Morning Forever, Nina is a local oil, acrylic, and found object abstract painter based in the San Fernando Valley.
Within the build up of surface and texture, Forman’s paintings capture an exploration of shapes through processes of upheaval and reinstatement. Enriched by Forman’s collection of memorabilia, the gallery space serves as a keepsake of items that have prevailed throughout her time making paintings. Her paintings and supplemental objects are embedded within cycles of keeping and throwing away, which are reminders of the constant flux of existence. The act of preserving vital memories and discarding the obsolete intertwine in a dance of continuity and renewal.
On opening night get lost in abstract paintings while being serenaded with special music performances by Mik Sullivan, Leo Sun, and Morning Forever.
Last day to view Keepshapes will be April 28, 2024.
