LOS ANGELES, CA - L.A. Artcore is pleased to present this tandem-solo exhibition between artists Sangeeta Reddy and Yari Ostovany, both mid-career artists who have developed distinct oeuvres encompassing abstract and representational modes of painting.
For his first exhibition in Los Angeles since the mid-Nineties, Artcore welcomes Bay-Area artist Yari Ostovany, whose abstract paintings reveal primordial nature and natural phenomena methodically and intuitively formed in layers, a context upon which varied and boundless interactions of color, light and form emerge and enlarge. Ostovany develops their surfaces organically in layers, out of which emanate the artist's conception of nature channeled through paints' materiality as light and forms emerge. Ostovany connects with the unknown by stretching the limitations of paint and its properties with non-traditional painting tools such as squeegees, spray-bottles and wok-cleaning brushes. In the artist's words, "My artwork is a personal journey of exploration into the realm of the spiritual through the alchemy of paint, color, light, texture and the poetics of space. My paintings are records of this intuitive journey. I start with calligraphic based gestural marks, solid forms and shapes which then begin to disintegrate as the layers explode and implode, are added, rubbed out, re-applied, scoured into and scraped away built back up, expanding and developing in a rhizome-like, lateral structure until the distinction between the foreground and background and the spatial hierarchy begin to dissolve, somewhat akin to layers of memory - and give way to another, ephemeral sense of form and visual phenomena."

The recent body of paintings by Denver-based artist Sangeeta Reddy is inspired by the geologic topographical treasures of the Colorado Plateau, a largely undisturbed region covering over 130,000 square miles across the United States' Four Corners. Having come to the United States from India in 1978, Ms. Reddy is known for incorporating the aesthetic influences and experience of her native Hyderabad with those of the Western United States. She has explored and documented some of the region's numerous sites in Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, yet the landscape genre—and nature as a subject—is an aesthetic departure of Ms. Reddy's that is taking place after a career of over twenty-five years of pure abstraction. In Ms. Reddy's debut appearance on the West Coast, the artist combines and utilizes photographs, memory and invention, directing movement through undulating compositional and chromatic relationships. By simplifying shapes down to their inherent geometries or extending them biomorphically Reddy establishes a visual equivalent between imagination and the site itself.
