MATERIAL IMMATERIALS
Adam Belt, David DiMichele, Virginia Katz, Joel King
September 14 – November 2, 2024
Los Angeles, CA—CMAY Gallery is pleased to present “MATERIAL IMMATERIAL,” an engaging new group exhibition spotlighting four Southern California artists: Adam Belt, David DiMichele, Virginia Katz, and Joel King. This exhibition delves into the fascinating interplay between materiality and the ethereal within contemporary art.
“MATERIAL IMMATERIAL” explores two contrasting artistic approaches: one that emphasizes the tangible and physical presence of materials, and another that evokes a more ephemeral, intangible essence.
The exhibition showcases a wide range of works that interact with the gallery space in inventive ways, from installations that integrate directly with the architecture of the gallery to more traditionally presented pieces.
Each artist brings a distinct perspective to their art:
Adam Belt creates an installation that harmonizes with the gallery’s architecture, merging the external environment with the internal space. He will also present an acrylic sculpture that embodies both material and immaterial elements.
David DiMichele will display his renowned miniature gallery spaces, typically seen in photographic form, offering a fresh take on scale and representation. His work will be accompanied by a photograph of one of his light installations, blending the realms of photography and installation art.
Virginia Katz will exhibit sculptural paintings that challenge the boundaries between painting and sculpture, presenting them on the gallery walls in a way that blurs the lines between the two mediums.
Joel King will feature monochromatic sculptural paintings and sculptures made entirely of paint, exploring the relationship between form and space.
Southern California's vibrant artistic landscape, influenced by movements such as Light and Space, is celebrated for its diversity and innovation. “MATERIAL IMMATERIAL” reflects this diversity by bringing together artists who embrace both material presence and ephemeral qualities, creating a rich and dynamic dialogue within the gallery space.
