Laguna Art Museum News Update: dr la Torre Brothers ~The Tipping Point~ and more see. below !

 

OPENS AUGUST 1   de la Torre Brothers: The Tipping Point What is 𝙙𝙚 𝙡𝙖 𝙏𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩? Opening at Laguna Art Museum on August 1, The Tipping Point is a densely layered installation accented by chandeliers, suspended forms and floor-level objects all centered around a monumental banquet-length table that rewards close looking. Who are the de la Torre Brothers? This installation comes from the creative vision of collaborative artist brothers Einar and Jamex de la Torre, whose mixed-media practice reflects a richly layered aesthetic informed by the complexities of bicultural identity and life on both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border.  What will it look like? You'll have to see it to believe it! The brothers' careful orchestration of materials, surfaces and lighting creates a sense of visual abundance while guiding visitors through the space as active participants rather than passive viewers.

NOW ON VIEW   Andy Moses: Into the Light Andy Moses: Into the Light surveys the artists work of the last two decades, evincing his increasingly expansive commitment to a kind of painting that at once displays and obscures imagery. This work forces you to decide what it is doing to you, what it is showing you, if and how it is tricking your eyes or playing to their strengths. It’s a kind of magic.
