Distant Figures: Curated by Kristen Liu-Wong and Luke Pelletier

West Coast Vibes on the East Coast!

Distant Figures, a group exhibition curated by Los Angeles artists Kristen Liu-Wong and Luke Pelletier, featuring works by:

Jillian Evelyn

Gina M. Contreras 

Kristen Liu-Wong

Luke Pelletier

Stacey Rozich

Yarrow Slaps

The artists in this show use the figure to explore narrative, emotion, and personal anecdotes. While having moved around, they have all called California home at one point or another and their work is made with a Pop sensibility and an earnest interest in their subjects. These artists have been exhibiting their work in group shows together, in different capacities, for the last decade and their art has been shown in galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Hamburg. Although there is a certain amount of physical distance between the artists and their practices, there is a figurative connection in all of their work and throughout their careers.
