“Well dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right?  It's only when we wake up that we realize how things are actually strange.  Let me ask you a question, you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you?”  - the character of Cobb in Christopher Nolan’s Inception Lowell Ryan Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Allison Lu Wang (b. 1994, Los Angeles, CA) titled splash, drip, drip, woo, splash. Composed of nine paintings, 48h by 36w inches in scale, all archival ink on linen, this will be Wang’s first exhibition with the gallery. In these recent works, Allison Lu Wang depicts various landscapes that are a reflection of the world she lives in both literally and figuratively. Her cinematic use of color and manipulation of imagery create works that take the viewer on a journey through time and place within the blink of an eye. Wang’s process of landscape painting—or one might call landscape building—pulls from disparate sources in her life, imagination, experiences and fascinations. Her process begins in an analog format sourcing various printed images cut from magazines, books, etc., as well as directly painted elements, such as an orchid in her studio rendered in oil paint. Entering the digital realm, photographs of these collages and painted images are further expanded upon and manipulated on the computer. There is always a sense of place, whether a more direct image from a street in her native Los Angeles or a scene from a favorite movie or video game. Pictorially no subject matter is treated with more or less importance, however direct cinematic and pop-cultural references can take on greater significance conceptually to the artist. Anakin Skywalker’s transformation into Darth Vader—consumed by paranoia, power and greed, and Cobb’s team in Inception standing on a street awaiting an unknown force take on both emotional and contextual significance to the artist—references to real life emotions played out in a fantastical realm.   In a world increasingly separating itself from a grounding force, the emotional ramifications of one’s psychological existence are explored through both formal process and subject matter. While not immediately evident at first glance, the artist has placed an image of herself in each work. An obvious signifier of the personal nature of the work, but also a nod to the human experience and our emotional capacity to understand the shift from the Information Age into the Age of Imagination.

THE WHITE ROOM GALLERY Presents “BEACH LIFE IS THE SWEET LIFE” opening July, 30, 2022

Beach Life Is The Sweet Life Curators' Quote

“ ‘Smell the sea and feel the sky.  Let your soul and spirit fly.’  A little poetry from Van Morrison seems an idyllic way to capture the essence of beach life which is basically a state of mind.  But Einstein also loved the beach.  He was an avid, albeit mediocre sailor and even though he couldn’t swim, not even the doggie paddle, he refused to wear a life preserver.  He would sail his dinghy “Tinef” - Yiddish for junk - into storms, often delighting in bringing unsuspecting scientists along for the harrowing ride.  He had to be rescued many times.  Can you imagine dragging the creator of the theory of relativity and his waterlogged, gobsmacked buddies to shore?  Now that’s a story well received at a buffet on the beach or anywhere else for years.  But Einstein’s behavior comes as no surprise as there have been countless studies documenting the strong connection between risk taking and creativity.  Every acclaimed artist without a fall-back plan took a risk and our featured artist Nelson De La Nuez is no exception.   Through his ingenuity, humor and homage to different pop styles he has created an engaging library of art like no other.   In curating this exhibit we wanted to celebrate beach life which is essentially the heart of the Hamptons.   Not just in the literal interpretation of being on the beach, but as a way of existence.   Even, if for some, the sweet life is just for a few months.   “You know me darling, wine first…talk later.”  “Swimming back for cocktail hour on the yacht.”  “Oh Pool Boy.”   It’s amusing.  It’s irreverent.   It’s bitchy.   “Live a fuck yes life.”  Absolutely.  Why the hell not?                                                 (Andrea McCafferty & Kat O’Neill co-owners and directors)
