Launch LA is proud to announce A Love Letter, a two-person exhibition by Lynne McDaniel and Lindsey Warren that poetically paints a love letter to the city of Los Angeles through light dappled vignets of the often overlooked corners of the city. Rather than an exact replica of specific locations, both artists create work that address the overall feeling of living in Los Angeles, woven together through smokey panoramic vistas and sunset streaked skies. 

Using the language of landscape to explore current events, as well as the sometimes-surprising beauty of urban existence, Lynne McDaniel’s work deals with her anxiety over events in the news as well as the environmental and ecological changes caused by natural disasters, human intervention, and the passage of time. “My art making is my response to whatever is affecting my world. In my home in California, I am surrounded by images of fires and drought, yet signs of change are everywhere and often more subtle.” Her most recent body of work depicts images from her daily walks along the Arroyo Seco near her studio, and in the foothills near her home. It is both a close examination and a documentation of the familiar but always changing landscape, so vital to the artist’s practice. The black and white palette and white deckle border of the paintings evoke the nostalgia of vintage photographs, like artifacts from a world that’s already gone.

Juxtaposed against McDaniel’s monochromatic paintings, Lindsey Warren’s recent urban landscape paintings flush with a colorful palette that celebrates the unique light of the city of Los Angeles. Through nostalgia and rediscovery of her hometown, after 15 years on the east coast, her series of urban landscape paintings affectionately represent LA from a variety of perspectives. Suburban landscaping and trees paired with utilitarian facades that frame the changing hues of the sky, generating individual portraits of neighborhoods within the sprawling city. Warren is drawn to dramatic and fleeting light that produces unique color experiences that depict specific places in the city, but with a universality that anyone who lives in Los Angeles might find familiar. Synthetic and natural elements combine to create the scenes that are exclusive to this urban Southern California landscape. Through a process of combining photographic references, systematic processes, perception and memory, Warren translates specific moments in time into the presented compositions.

“The paintings,” says Warren, “are visual responses to my past and current homes and stem from observations of basic daily encounters that are commonly overlooked. Since returning to Los Angeles in 2015 I have been focusing on representing the magical light and diverse environments of this city, resulting in portraits of viewpoints and neighborhoods that I frequent and love.

Exhibition at Keystone Gallery // Opening April 13th

NATIVE
Recent Work by Lindsey Warren

April 13-21, 2019
Reception Saturday, April 13th, 5-8pm

Keystone Gallery presents an exhibition of paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Lindsey Warren.  In this group of recent work Warren celebrates her return to Los Angeles after 15 years on the east coast. The nostalgia and rediscovery of her hometown led to the creation of a series of urban landscape paintings that affectionately represent Los Angeles from a variety of perspectives. Close-ups of landscaping and plants are paired with wider views of downtown and suburban neighborhoods, generating an overall portrait and colorful interpretation of the sprawling city.  

Warren is drawn to dramatic and fleeting light that produces unique color experiences at different times of the day and year. Each piece in this show depicts a specific place but one that anyone who calls Los Angels home might find familiar. Synthetic and natural elements combine to create the scenes that are exclusive to Southern California. Through a process of combining photographic references, systematic processes, perception and memory, Warren translates specific moments in time into the presented compositions.
