Exhibition Thaddaeus Ropac

Thaddaeus Ropac is hosting 'FAQ', a solo exhibition of new works by American artist Liza Lou that explores the intersection of Abstract Expressionism and beadwork. Lou applies thousands of glass beads to oil-on-canvas compositions to mimic the appearance of gestural brushstrokes and paint splatters. The exhibition examines the relationship between meticulous material application and the intuitive visual rhythms associated with mid-20th-century painterly abstraction.
