Artist Talk: Lia Halloran

Lia Halloran and special guest will discuss her exhibition, Night Watch and the overarching themes of her past works as they relate to the manipulation of perception and time. Halloran’s new paintings in Night Watch expand upon these themes exploring the passing of time over various scales informed by the imagery of star trails, the changing of seasons, and the Earth's orbit around the sun. The paintings create a visual dialogue between the mechanical and the natural, from the cyclical nature of the seasons and, the gradual transformation of landscapes, using colors and textures to evoke the seasonal change. Referencing the iconic “Device” works of Jasper Johns, this series investigates how mechanized machines and tools symbolize the passage of time.

Presented by Luis De Jesus Los Angeles - a participating gallery in PST ART: Art & Science Collide.
