Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SARAH ANN LOBB
New Paintings
April 17 – May 24, 2008
In the Project Space, Light & Sie is pleased to present an exhibition of new abstract paintings by Sarah Ann Lobb. Based in Philadelphia, Lobb paints in a constructivist abstract style works that are typically small(er) scaled and that speak to the long tradition of non-representational painting. Lobb writes: “Imagery seems to specifically refer to pictures, which I do not prioritize in painting. The subject of a painting is made up of equal and connected pieces comprising a painting and those paintings are equal and separated pieces that comprise a whole work of art. I try not to think of these things in a hierarchical way.”
White Columns in New York writes: “Lobb’s idiosyncratic and mercurial works acknowledge a crooked painterly lineage that simultaneously evokes the casual precision of Raoul de Keyser, the joyful melancholia of Mary Heilmann, and the informal formalism of Bernard Frize. Lobb studied both painting and sculpture at undergraduate level, a dialogue that remains highly pertinent to her work’s underlying formal properties.”
Sarah Ann Lobb was born in Portsmouth, Virginia in 1979. She holds a BFA from The Tyler School of Art at Temple University, and an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work was included in the seminal exhibition series “Drunk vs. Stoned,” curated by Scott and Tyson Reeder at Gavin Brown’s enterprise in New York. She has also exhibited at the Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita and at White Columns in New York.
For more information, and/or to receive a press kit, please contact Andrew Sie or Scott Hilton at (214) 745-2255. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12 PM until 5 PM
