David Lloyd: Monas Hieroglyphica

Gallery KM is very pleased to present “Monas Hieroglyphica”, the gallery’s first solo show of work by Los Angeles-based artist David Lloyd.   The exhibition features several large and medium scale mixed-media paintings on canvas and wood.   Lloyd describes his current work as exploring the sublime and the ridiculous in equal parts, a combination of “serious mysticism and f-d up pseudo-science”.  His recent work is influenced by what he sees as the intersection between the materialist/biological determinist point of view and the religious/spiritual point of view.   The work itself operates in its own formal intersection between foundational abstraction and representation, and the paintings read as abstract works with representational elements, rather than as representational paintings.
