Katherine Aungier Jamie Felton Stef Halmos Chyrum Lambert Maysha Mohamedi Maureen St. Vincent Eastside International is pleased to present Rubbed Smooth, an exhibition about the complete transformation of surface through repeated touch and exposure. Katherine Aungier, Jamie Felton, Stef Halmos, Chyrum Lambert, Maysha Mohamedi, and Maureen St. Vincent present painting and sculpture resulting from prolonged and sustained physical contact with materials. Their touch can be read as: soft, hard, safe, degrading, skilled, novice, comfort-enhancing, rough, easy, pensive, compulsive, and methodical. The textures present in the artwork – both physical and implied – offer a visceral invitation to engage beyond the confines of verbal language. In a world where people just don’t have time to sunbathe anymore, Rubbed Smooth is a visual environment that is fast and slow-absorbing over time. Opening reception Saturday, Oct 27th, 7-10 PM On view until Dec 8th Gallery hours Sat & Sun 1-4, beginning Saturday, November 3rd Closed Nov 24th and 25th #esxla
