Argentinian artist Jorge Miño reshapes ordinary architectural photography by converting static images into artworks that can be experienced as physical objects, full of life and energy, transcending the typical nature of photography. Miño investigates and pushes the creative boundaries and possibilities of the medium, seeking to deconstruct and reconstruct his perception of the world. Miño orchestrates the “destabilization of spaces to unleash imagination.”

Artist John Peralta’s work examines the emotional relationship we develop with the machines we use. He is most known for his sculptures, which transform discarded mechanical objects into astonishing, complex works of art.

Artist Joan Robey’s practice engages in placing found objects together in assemblage. In her sculptural work, Robey uses recycled materials and combines them into a unique work of art. In her latest series, Robey takes photographs of natural glimpses around her desert home in Joshua Tree to create photographic collages.

Jim Jenkins is a kinetic sculptor living and working in California. He sculpts inanimate objects from metal, wood, and plastics and brings them to life with motors and counter-weights, carefully orchestrating the movement of each object.

Françoise Sémiramoth is a French-Créole artist, living in Marseilles, France but is originally from Guadeloupe, where she remains inspired by the vivid colors of the island. In some of her paintings, Sémiramoth borrows the basic forms from Caravaggio's work, using her own bright palette and infusing her images with the identity and history of the Guadeloupean people. 

Kyong Boon Oh approaches her sculptural work with a deeply intimate and meditative process. Oh pairs together figurative and abstract forms that she constructs from intertwined metal wire. Oh views a single wire as a representation of her life path. She explores the tension between her physical and emotional self, while engaging in the labor-intensive process of weaving together threads of wire.

Artist Tom Eckert believes that “Covered forms are often more evocative— with a sense of mystery absent from the uncovered object by itself.” In his solo exhibition Illusions and Deceptions currently on view at the Lois Lambert Gallery of Functional Art, Eckert explores the power of concealment, working to activate the imagination through the medium of wooden sculpture.

Allen Harrison: “Beauty, Inspiration, Abstraction” at Lois Lambert Gallery in Santa Monica

At Lois Lambert Gallery “Truthiness”, opening September 7, 2019.

“Truthiness”, coined by Stephen Colbert, is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals, without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts. Truthiness can range from ignorant assertions of falsehoods to deliberate duplicity or propaganda intended to sway opinions. The concept of truthiness has emerged as a major subject of discussion surrounding U.S. politics during the 2000s because of the perception among some observers of a rise in propaganda and a growing hostility toward factual reporting and factbased discussion.

The chaos and controversy surrounding both cultural and political perceptions has prompted the Lois Lambert Gallery to invite 23 artists to address these concerns in their own particular way.
