LAST WEEK: Emil Alzamora, Waymaker - through Saturday, June 19th "Surrealist psyche unshackled, Alzamora’s sculptures stand among the fluid and powerfully charged sculptures of Umberto Boccioni. In fact, his provocative and alluring forms far outweigh any conceptual fodder. A practicing sculptor since the late ‘90s, Alzamora is a master craftsman when it comes to design. From the aquiline arms of the figure in Star Suit (2018), to the pocketed seams along Hone Redux’s (2018) ribs, Alzamora captures the ambition and drama of Henry Moore’s work while maintaining sensitivity to subtle expression. The arched back and exaggerated neck of Waymaker (2021) imitates Persipine’s deserpate clamor for freedom in the Baroque marble sculpture The Rape of Proserpina. Likewise, Hone Redux bears striking resemblance to the ancient Crouching Aphrodite and Crouching Venus sculptures. No doubt Alzamora was struck with inspiration from the ancient world and his industrial time warps tunnel us into a futuristic dystopia studded with impeccable design." - Sydney Walters, Artillery .

LAST WEEK TO SEE: Emil Alzamora, Waymaker through Saturday, June 19th. ⬅️⬅️⬅️ Swipe left to see more images Emil Alzamora’s “Waymaker” is like journeying through a series of time warps. Cement, steel and wood figures loom in various states of decay like Greco-Roman relics in a museum. Yet a modern sensibility invites the sculptures into a surrealist dream conjuring a restrained body, mangled by metal. His sculptural figures are caught in a violent tempest of industrial materials that weave in and out of linear time. - @artillery_mag @squid.queene NEW ADDRESS: 4619 West Washington Blvd., Los Angeles, CA . . . #emilalzamora #lowellryanprojects #sculpture #art #fineart #body #scifi #surealism #human #science #artofinstagram #mixedmedia #contemporaryart #lagallery #museum #time #artillerymagazine #la #metal #modernart #dream #relics #plaster #decay (at Lowell Ryan Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQKB9eVnp2d/?utm_medium=tumblr

Armenian Vardanyan iconography such as carpet patterns that dissolve into the curtains are depicted in the works. The installation of the unstretched canvases themselves is a reference to a mode of hanging carpets, in addition to a means of envisioning a larger work and expanded narrative. For Vardanyan that expanded narrative is not just one of her own life and continued development of self, but also an acknowledgment that while her personal experience has and can still feel isolating, it is in fact human—reflecting that her emotions have been and are felt by many others.

Annemari Vardanyan, Inside My Mind, Opening Saturday 2-5pm! #gardenparty #drinks 🥂🌴 Lowell Ryan Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition titled Inside My Mind by Prague-based artist Annemari Vardanyan. The exhibition will feature eight large-scale unstretched paintings on canvas stapled directly to the walls of the gallery, as well as four medium-sized canvas works. Originally from Armenia, Vardanyan’s works depict quotidian scenes of life as a student—at home in her bedroom, with groups of fellow classmates hanging out, or simply a wall with windows in her home. These psychological portraits explore the spaces between uncertainty and place, and between alienation and hope. A recent graduate of The Academy of Fine Arts in Prague this will be Vardanyan’s first solo exhibition.

Carrie Mae Smith Flatware on linen (detail) 2022 Oil on ACM Panel 14h X 17w inches __________ Lowell Ryan Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition titled, Four Plates and Four Forks, by Upstate New York-based artist Carrie Mae Smith. Composed of recent small-scale paintings of various cutlery, china, cuts of meat, pastries, and domestic interior scenes softly rendered in oil paint, these works continue Smith’s exploration of domestic utilitarian objects, particularly with an interest in culinary articles and their social and historical implications. This will be Carrie Mae Smith’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles and with the gallery. __________ 4619 West Washington Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90016 Tuesday - Saturday: 11am - 6pm and by appointment +1 323 413 2584 #carriemaesmith #lowellryanprojects #udelmfa #finefart #oilpainting #butchersdaughter #cutlery #details (at Lowell Ryan Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWOGp4P_Ik/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While savoring the act of painting, Smith’s process also references the gesture of serving. The act of serving a meal or a cup of tea now applies to family, friends, and loved ones, but through her paintings extends to the viewer as well. In the title work of the exhibition, Four Forks and Four Plates, 2022 a stack of four gold and teal-rimmed plates rest on a beige surface. Two forks are on top of the stack and two forks rest next to the plates as if waiting to be set out on the table in preparation for dinner, or possibly dessert. The soft cast of daylight reflects from the tongs of the forks and extends an almost lavender-hued shadow off the side of the china. The softness of Smith’s brushwork alludes to the effortless nature of setting down the plates and knives on the table, almost as if a second-nature movement. While the skill of Smith’s brushwork and the process of setting a table are not instinctive acts, but instead the result of years of practice, attention to detail and refinement, Carrie Mae Smith’s works allow the viewer to surrender to her process and relish in the moment of reflection and anticipation. Carrie Mae Smith’s Four Plates and Four Forks is on view through March 18th ____________ Pictured: Carrie Mae Smith Four Plates and Four Forks 2022 Oil on panel 12h x 16w inches / 30.48h x 40.64w cm LOWELL RYAN PROJECTS 4619 W.
