SUMMARY:Andrew Brischler: Monster
DESCRIPTION:The convergence of meaning and memory is the foundation for a new body of work by the Brooklyn-based artist Andrew Brischler. Monster features a selection of works on paper\, each presenting a unique depiction of the word MONSTER. Composed almost entirely of colored pencil on uniformly sized sheets of drawing paper\, the works vary widely in style and composition; some letters trail long dribbles of bright yellow\, reminiscent of hastily sprayed aerosol paint\, while others waver within queasy\, radiating haloes of deep green and peach. Brischler has produced an immersive experience for his fifth exhibition with GAVLAK\, enveloping the viewer in a cocoon of drawings that wrap the gallery’s walls. Monster opens June 12 and will be on view through August 14 within GAVLAK Los Angeles’s project space. To accompany the works in the exhibition\, Andrew Brischler has published a limited-edition artist book\, the second of an ongoing series\, which is available for free.

SUMMARY:Betty Tompkins: Some Sex\, Lots of Talking
DESCRIPTION:GAVLAK Los Angeles is pleased to present Some Sex\, Lots of Talking\, Betty Tompkins’ third solo exhibition with the gallery. Presented concurrently with the artist’s first international survey\, Betty Tompkins: Raw Material\, at MO.CO Montpellier Contemporain from June 26 to September 5\, Some Sex\, Lots of Talking is comprised of new works which expand the artist’s critical practice\, exploring iconic depictions of women in classical art and commercial photography to interrogate their coercive and objectifying representational modes. Also featured are new additions to Tompkins’s longstanding series\, Fuck\, Sex and Cunt Paintings\, which collectively make up the centerpiece of her Montpellier survey\, and in which pornographic and otherwise censorial images of women’s bodies are refashioned through the artist’s restrained acrylic grisaille. Some Sex\, Lots of Talking opens June 12 and will be on view through August 14 at GAVLAK Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Beverly Fishman: Love Letter to L.A.
DESCRIPTION:GAVLAK is pleased to announce Love Letter to L.A.\, the Los Angeles gallery’s first solo presentation of new work by Beverly Fishman. The exhibition’s declaration of affection signals a pivot to the personal in Fishman’s new body of work\, for which she has developed a distinctive color palette for objects that occupy a liminal position between two and three dimensions\, subtly acknowledging a debt to styles with California roots\, including the Light and Space and Finish Fetish movements. The enticing and deceptive optical effects the new works produce also expand upon Fishman’s long-standing investigations of how physical and mental states with no fixed visual forms of their own—namely\, pain and wellness—are articulated in the marketing of pharmaceutical conglomerates to an increasingly medicated general public. Love Letter to L.A. opens May 1 and will be on view through June 5\, 2021 at GAVLAK Los Angeles. \nFishman’s compositions evoke alternative histories of Minimalism\, beyond the hard-edged austerity that dominated on the East Coast. They conjure to mind the surprisingly bright palette of Eva Hesse’s early work\, before she abandoned color entirely\, and the vaporous hues of the wall reliefs of Craig Kauffman\, who never gave it up. A vital aspect of Fishman’s works is produced not by the raised\, sculptural paintings themselves\, but by the effects they produce on the white walls around them. The bright hues of urethane paint circumscribing each shape enhaloes them in a soft\, pseudo-neon glow\, encompassing the space of the gallery within the totality of the work. In the paintings Untitled (Pain\, Anxiety\, Anxiety) (2020) and Untitled (Pain\, Asthma\, Anxiety) (2021)\, Fishman’s deft handling of both matte and satin finishes produces the illusion of three-dimensionality within the compositions as well as confusion over whether the forms are convex or concave. This muddling of positive and negative reflects the increasingly ubiquitous practice of polypharmacy\, in which an individual patient is prescribed a regimen of multiple pharmaceuticals with potentially deleterious combined effects. \nWhile the polymer sheen and half-moon and ovoid shapes of certain of Fishman’s paintings may directly evoke tablets and capsules divided and dosed\, their beguiling forms more importantly demonstrate how both sickness and health are abstractions marketed through slickly seductive gambits. The rosy hues suffusing the works nod to the ways in which women are particularly vulnerable to pharmaceutical campaigns that gender their targets\, even as they dangerously misdiagnose them; for example\, the documented phenomenon of women’s heart \nattacks being misidentified as anxiety. Taking into account the real impact of intent and anticipation on the wellness of individuals in the thrall of the placebo effect\, Fishman proposes that the transformative effects of viewing art produce similarly inexplicable shifts in wellbeing. \nBeverly Fishman (b. 1955\, Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania) lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan. Her work resides in the permanent collections of the Detroit Institute of Arts\, Detroit\, Michigan; the Miami Art Museum\, Miami\, Florida; and the Istanbul Art Centre\, Istanbul\, Turkey. Recent solo exhibitions include presentations for Miles McEnery Gallery\, New York (2020); Ronchini Gallery\, London (2019); Kavi Gupta Gallery\, Chicago (2018); Kravets Wehby Gallery\, New York (2017); and DOSE\, curated by Nick Cave\, CUE Art Foundation\, New York (2017). Her work was featured prominently in recent group exhibitions including the Cranbrook Museum of Art\, Bloomfield Hills\, Michigan (2020); Columbus of Museum of Art\, Columbus\, Ohio (2019); Lehmann Maupin\, New York (2019); Front International\, Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art\, Cleveland\, Ohio (2018); Borusan Contemporary Art Collection\, Istanbul\, Turkey (2017); and Jack Shainman Gallery\, (2017).

SUMMARY:Jose de Jesus Rodriguez: Back on the Inside
DESCRIPTION:GAVLAK is proud to present Back on the Inside\, the gallery’s first solo presentation of the work of Brooklyn-based artist José de Jesus Rodriguez. Four new paintings (all 2021) demonstrate Rodriguez’s facility in styles ranging from abbreviated line drawing to mimetic realism. The coexistence of these distinct approaches within the same picture plane serves as a reminder that all images\, no matter how simple or sophisticated\, compel belief.
