David Kordansky Gallery is pleased to present Both Ends Burning, an exhibition of new work by Amy Bessone, Thomas Houseago, Matthew Monahan and Lara Schnitger.The opening reception will be on Friday, October 14th and the exhibition will be on view through November 12th. The four artists first met in 1994 while completing their residencies at De Ateliers, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Their meeting proved to be a profound experience that cemented the professional and personal friendships within the group.
After living and working in various countries after their time in Amsterdam, the four are once again in the same location, Los Angeles. Both Ends Burning is the first exhibition of all the artists together. Bessone, Houseago, Monahan and Schnitger are dedicated to exploring and challenging notions of the figure. Finding a lack of rigor in current trends regarding figuration they look to face their practices without ironic distractions.
Together they have decided to take a no-holds-barred approach to their work and find territories not before explored. Each artist confronts figuration from different angles and with various techniques. In this exhibition they continue this dialogue and the intertwining narratives between their work.
