MATERIAL AND ILLUSION AT MARK MOORE GALLERY
2525 Michigan Ave A-1, Santa Monica, CA 90404. http://www.markmooregallery.com.
Opening Reception June 5th, 5 to 7pm.
Mark Moore Gallery is pleased to host Ben Weiner's second solo exhibition in Los Angeles. For the first time in the artist's career, the gallery will debut four stop-motion video works in addition to five studio-fresh oil paintings rendered in his signature photorealistic technique.
Through cropped magnifications, Weiner decontextualizes the commonplace to achieve conceptually transcendent and enigmatic abstractions. In his most recent body of work, the artist continues to resolve mass production with artistic creation by referencing Clement Greenberg's formalist notion of art exploring the nature of medium. Weiner's portrayals of synthetic materials such as high-fructose corn syrup, beauty products, and oil paint, achieve arresting duality through their vague familiarity and simultaneous mystique, reflecting our zeitgeist's fascination with artifice and imitation. In conversation with Weiner's transformative videos, his paintings confront our societal resistance to mortality and the unrefined

ELEMENTS OF NATURE: SELECTIONS FROM THE FREDERICK R. WEISMAN ART FOUNDATION AT THE CARNEGIE ART MUSEUM

Elements of Nature: Selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation
The ancients believed that the world consisted of four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Although they have been replaced by modern scientific elements, these four essential states have continued to inspire artists. This exhibit gathers together works of art that reflect on how the four elements continue to have meaning in our lives.
