Western Exhibitions presents its third solo show with artist Edie Fake, The Pieces. A spokesperson from the gallery says, “Fake presents several mid-size paintings on panel that take the shape of sandcastles, paintings that consider the sense of impermanence left in particular by the tumultuous year that was 2020. Inspired by a rollercoaster of emotional states, this body of work juxtaposes the idea of many small things coming together with the constant threat of being washed away to start over. The paintings are informed by looking at diatom art, desert sand, cellular and viral behavior, rising ocean levels, and as always with Edie Fake, the audacity of queer utopian imagining.”
A smaller group of mostly abstract panels that Fake has been calling erogenous zones is sprinkled throughout the space.
