Lily Simonson
Wet and Wild
CB1 Gallery is pleased to present Wet and Wild, artist Lily Simonson’s LA solo exhibition debut. Through luminous, translucent glazes, Simonson’s uncanny paintings of insects and sea creatures marry tropes of zoological illustration with traditional figure painting and abstract expressionism.
Lily Simonson’s luscious, atmospheric paintings revel in the bizarre architectures and behaviors of invertebrates whose biological truths are stranger than human fictions. In Wet and Wild, she depicts newly-discovered species as emblems of sexuality and mortality, while mining their unfamiliar morphologies for formal painterly investigations. Her gnarly compositions conjure romantically-charged narratives while delving into the grotesque aspects of her subjects, simultaneously highlighting both the beauty and the abjection of human eroticism. June 17 – July 29, 2012 Reception for the artist: Sunday, June 17, 5 - 7 p.m.
