First Amendment Gallery is pleased to announce Potholes, a new solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist, Henry Fey. Fey's latest collection of works incorporate acrylic painting and image transfers of the artist's photographs in an engaging installation of twenty-four 8" × 10" pieces, a departure from his previously exhibited large-scale paintings.
For Potholes, Fey uses his signature blend of digital and analog processes to simulate a visual journey of a casual ride through a cityscape. Individually, the works recall innocuous colors and textures that seamlessly flow into another to then be punctuated by abrupt darkness – a pothole that only disrupts your journey momentarily before sending you back on track. Collectively, these examinations recontextualize familiar forms with the framed works acting as windows into particular moments of that ride.
Henry Fey is an artist and San Francisco Art Institute alum living and working in Los Angeles.
First Amendment Gallery invites you to join them for the opening reception of “Potholes” on Saturday, June 8th from 7-10pm.
