The Hogar Collection is most pleased to announce the debut solo exhibition
of new paintings by Lauriston Avery. His bold and mysterious works explore
concepts, fascinations and philosophies of supra-natural and phenomenological
sublimity. Probing the boundaries where abstraction, formalism, chance
and non-specific narrative invoke and conjure the realms of little black
holes, Avery’s work is like a sort of monastic journey with goals
that seek to understand age-old collective mysteries and specifically,
the rumination of the beginning and the end of our ego’s existence.
Mysterious, meditative and reflective, the paintings foremost qualities
grapple with formalistic issues of color, harmonical relationships and
overall “natural flow”. They exude metaphysical auras and
illustrate mystical atmospheric lights that contain a certain spiritual
beauty of awe and are inspired from the magnificence of celestial sightings
such as aurora borealis, UFO’s, staring at the sun and phantasmagoric
energies to name a few. They seek to examine the macroscopic regions of
introspection, like looking through a high powered telescope at an undiscovered
universe, or for that matter, into a dimensional fold and into a wormhole
for a glimpse at future fate or to see the spark of the so-called beginning
of our conscience existence.
Lauriston Avery was born in 1968 in Connecticut and currently lives and works in New York. His works have been exhibited in group shows at 31 Grand, NY, HERE Art Space, NY, Next Art Fair, Chicago, Participant Gallery, NY, The Hogar Collection and others. Lauriston received a BFA from The Maryland Art Institute.
