Roq La Rue is very pleased to present our first solo show with Los Angeles based painter Lola Gil. Based on a style she calls "Narrative Escapism", Gil's works exhibit a soft tension, with soft, creamy painting style contrasting with often tension filled narratives. For this show, Thirsty, Gil not only explores the title themes definition with narratives of drought and climate change, but also the more ambiguous slang term meaning an insatiable lust for life and creation.
This show exhibits a formidable jump in style in both technical prowess as well as a tightened narrative running throughout out her work, and we are absolutely thrilled to exhibit this exciting and provocative show. The exhibition will run March 8—April 7, 2019.
