Debbie Korbel The Sum of Its Parts October 3, 2020 - December 6,2020 The whole is greater than the sum of its parts; that the finished sculpture has more value and meaning that the many disparate components that comprise it — this is what Debbie Korbel hopes to achieve when she sets out to create her assemblage sculptures. Everyone knows what it is like to lie on their back and 'see' images in the clouds. When Korbel was a child, she assumed everyone saw these kinds of images everywhere like she did — figures, animals and surreal creatures in the patterns on the linoleum flooring, the random swirls in a plaster ceiling, or even the way shadows fell against a wall. As an adult Korbel approaches her sculpture materials in the same way, by standing back and looking for what she 'sees' to emerge. "Being an assemblage sculptor is a little like taking a daily Rorschach test," says Korbel. Korbel creates her sculptures by combining her original sculpted elements with an assortment of objects she has collected. Often the initial impetus for the sculpture occurs when she finds an interesting fragment of metal or wood and then the idea takes root and evolves from that single catalyst piece. Every sculpture is like a puzzle for which Korbel finds and fits each seemingly unrelated piece together in its more expressive form to create something new. “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel “The Sum of Its Parts” by Debbie Korbel

Jose Lozano Figuratively December 7, 2019 - February 9, 2020 Jose Lozano is a multimedia artist who is considered a principal in the Los Angeles Latino arts scene. His figurative drawings, paintings, and mixed media works transform everyday scenarios into humorous and satirical subject matter. His playful style and curiosity give his work a mischievous and childlike quality. Combining social issues such as identity, cultural erasure, and cultural amnesia with comedic elements makes his work approachable. This accessibility creates an entry point for the viewer to imagine themselves in a scenario that may be unfamiliar and foreign while challenging a dialogue of understanding and tolerance. Jose Lozano received his Master of Fine Arts degree from California State University, Fullerton. His drawings and paintings have been exhibited widely at venues that include the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, The Hammer Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles, Orange County Museum of Contemporary Art, Patricia Correia Gallery, Self Help Graphics and Art in Los Angeles, California and Avenue 50 Studio, Inc in Los Angeles, California. He has received many awards including a J. Paul Getty Mid-Career Grant in Painting and a California Arts Council Grant for Drawing and Painting. “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano “Figuratively” by Jose Lozano

Joy Ray a mirror with breath like stone September 23, 2023 - November 19, 2023 Joy Ray’s interdisciplinary practice explores textiles as instruments of divination, adopting techniques like quilting and weaving to conduct inquiries into the spectral, speculative, and unreliable. Central to Ray’s research into the unknowable are methods of abstraction, concealment, illumination, and reconstitution that extract visual language from source materials like archival texts and oral histories. a mirror with breath like stone utilizes the history of MOAH:CEDAR as a former jail, courthouse, and library examining the permeation of time through the aesthetics of archival decay. Her use of tombstone-like textile sculptures immortalizes the historic front-page stories from the Antelope Valley Ledger-Gazette . Encrusted with charcoal, ash, and sand from the nearby desert, these works evoke the fires that periodically ravaged Lancaster’s archival records and municipal buildings. Using translucent silk banners, fabric, chicken wire sculptures, and audio works on vintage records, viewers are transported through the layers of spectral history of MOAH:CEDAR. Joy Ray lives and works in Hawaiʻi and Los Angeles. Her work has been featured at the Museum of Quilts and Textiles in San Jose, California, the Hawaiʻi Museum of Contemporary Art, the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum, and the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) in Lancaster, California. Ray’s work is held in the collection of MOAH and in private collections. She has been featured in publications including the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, Artillery, and whitehot . Joy Ray holds a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a Bachelor of Arts from Sarah Lawrence College.

Leonard Greco Fairyland February 23, 2019 - March 31, 2019 This recent body of work he's called Fairyland has developed a definite camp sensibility (not dissimilar to the theatrical confections of Cecil Beaton in the 1920’s). Camp, having been described as the lie that tells the truth, is an innate language he has been reticent to explore until recently. Perhaps internalized homophobia has left him hesitant to make work so boldly queer – in every sense of the word – making art so openly flamboyant. Purposely stamped with informed wit and a wry knowing humor, this new work is first and foremost intended to visually delight and be taken seriously . Among other things, it touches on the weighty tableau of the Temptation of St. Anthony of the Desert and the perilous trials of Herakles. His aesthetic expression is influenced by his instinctive inclination to lighten somber somewhat ponderous existential themes with a gay touch (consciously using this word in both its current identity-laden fraught understanding and the anachronistic yet more delightful sense). While the work possesses decidedly camp sensibilities it is never ironic as is so often the current fashion. He finds irony frequently cynical; his work is never cynical for no other reason than the inherent affection he holds for his motley crew of heroes, saints and sinners .He draws indiscriminately upon diverse seemingly unrelated archetypes and themes from many sources, including Classical mythology, British folklore, Wagnerian operas and the biblical text of my Catholic youth, doing so in order to touch upon that which is culturally familiar to him, to others – and if we believe Jung – found deeply rooted as archetypes in our souls. These eternal themes provide me ample, seemingly endless, means of interpretation. As a person steeped in the Western tradition of literature and the visual arts, it is a rich fertile field he feels most comfortable in adopting. The work presented at Fairyland are these familiar themes, explored many times over by countless artist; yet this time re-imagined through a prism of his own. His play upon cultural themes hopefully adds a sentence or two to this ongoing cultural conversation. Working in variety of mediums, and a fabulist by nature, it is my intention to create a theatrical spectacle that is peculiar, visually arresting and deeply personal. Although the work is made solely for his own delight, He hopes others find the work meaningful in some way. He also hopes visitors feel inspired to resist the siren call of selfies and pause instead, if only for a moment, as these works are visually dense and to add their own voice to this enriching and frequently neglected conversation. With that, welcome to his Fairyland. “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco “Fairyland” by Leonard Greco

Amy Kaps What is Black and White and Pink allover? September 15, 2018 - November 25, 2018 Kaps, an interdisciplinary artist, is in constant dialogue with her surroundings and those who inhabit it. Highly conceptual with the intention of altering perception and provoking thought, Kaps’ objective is to create honestly and question the status quo while reveling in a feast for the senses. Kaps challenges the viewer to decipher the common denominators and recognize the similarities within the differences that connect us regardless of age, race, or gender. What is Black and White and Pink allover? is Kaps’ latest exhibition in her Victus Versus/Striped World series, transforming the MOAH:CEDAR galleries into one of her iconic black, white, and striped installations. A new series of work by Kaps and her longtime collaborator, photographer Eric Schwabel, will also adorn the gallery as well as video installations done in collaboration with lovemando a.k.a.

Zära Monet Feeney Royal Disillusion January 30, 2021 - June 27, 2021 There is a specific moment when we suspend our disbelief and are seduced by an illusion. When this happens, we are not looking at something, but looking at ourselves perceiving it. This exhibition psychoanalyzes the horrors of our current pandemic, political warfare, personal trauma, and the mental delirium of quarantine. The paintings scintillate and fade between sinister and majestic, grotesque and imperial, exposing the emotional upheaval of cognitive dissonance and dissociation. Using obscured installation and subtle shifts of color and light temperature, the viewing experience becomes nuanced and introspective. More broadly, the paintings also engage in a conversation with intersectional queer feminism, traditional voyueristic compositions, the male gaze and socio-sexual empowerment issues. Aesthetically, they illuminate an Old Master style; the subjects are posed, the mood is dramatic, but they also exploit and contemporize it; the locus of composition is skewed, the light logic is reversed. Meticulously choreographing a dramatic dynamic between the subject and the space it occupies, the work is able to guide, critique and call into question the generic way a painting is received. The work is aimed to reify a psychological and reflexive viewing experience that ultimately transcends the viewer into an unknown consciousness. Feeney’s paintings are published in Huffington Post, Manifest, Juxtapoz, BeautifulBizarre, Young-Space, Uproxx and Art in America. She has been awarded fourteen solo shows and thirty seven selected group exhibitions in the past five years. Her credentials also include numerous national and international art residencies and first place honors at juried group competitions. She has a Bachelor of Arts from University of California Los Angeles and a Master of Fine Arts from Laguna College of Art and Design.

Anticipating Godeleine de Rosamel February 3 - March 17, 2024 After taking a step back from illustration, artist Godeleine de Rosamel has worked primarily in ceramics, creating unique life-forms and vegetation that inhabit a whimsical yet earthly domain. She embraces the innocence of her childhood drawings, bringing those creatures from the page into our third dimension. De Rosamel's interest in natural history is evident not only in her subject matter, but also in her process. She combines materials like clay, pigment, and sticks to create creatures that appear to come from a world adjacent to our own. In de Rosamel’s practice, she assumes the role of “Creator” by sculpting new species to populate her human-less utopia. In her world, politics, gender, and suffering do not exist. Instead, her charming, well-fed creatures roam freely through forests and sleep under trees. They reside in an idealized setting, where leisure and tranquility are at the forefront. Through her earthy color palette and each creature’s laissez faire demeanor, she maintains a softness and levity in her work. Her world is a utopia far from our own, and far from the devastating impacts of human activities on biodiversity on our planet.   Godeleine de Rosamel is a French artist based in Los Angeles, California. Born in Lille, France, de Rosamel’s passion for art began early when she was just a child drawing animals and taking her first ceramics class at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. In 1986, she attended the Ecole de Recherche Graphique (ERG) in Brussels, Belgium, where she graduated with a Fine Arts degree and began a career as a children’s book illustrator. Her whimsical illustrations have been featured in a number of books in France and Belgium. In 2001, she moved to Los Angeles and continued her career as an illustrator for several years until ultimately switching gears and to focus on her ceramics practice.
