Casemore Gallery is pleased to present pasajes, a solo presentation of paintings, photographs, and drawings by Luz Carabaño, a Los Angeles–based Venezuelan artist. The exhibition interweaves several elements of Luz’s practice revealing the various stages that culminate in her signature small-scale oil paintings with ceramic-like finishes. Playful shapes and muted colors dance off the curves of each uniquely shaped canvas while light and shadow twist along found grids Luz captures on color film in her everyday comings and goings. Carabaño’s drawings are like scattered leaves falling down the wall’s surface, revealing the artist’s unfiltered thought process in fleeting personal moments. Displaying all three mediums together for the first time in this inaugural exhibition with Casemore Gallery, pasajes allows the viewer a unique intimate experience of Luz Carabaño practice in its entirety.
