Los Angeles, CA (April 21, 2022) – Thinkspace Projects is thrilled to present two new solo shows, highlighting the works from two talented Canadian artists.
In Gallery One, Thinkspace Projects is thrilled to present Sandra Chevrier’s second solo show with the gallery, ‘Cages and the Shadow of Colors.’ The Montréal-based Canadian artist creates work that explore identity as a locus of competing imperatives and complex contradictions. Drawing parallels between the assumed invulnerability of the superhero and the impossible demands placed upon the contemporary individual, Chevrier creates literal and metaphoric masks by combining comic book imagery assembled from found and imagined sources. Her dystopian spin on the iconic figure of the superhero looks to reveal the flaws in the staged extroversion of the superficial veneer.
In Gallery Two, Thinkspace is excited to present Troy Lovegates’ latest solo show, ‘Would.’ The artist, formerly known as Other, brings his vast knowledge of street art and work with found objects to the gallery, presenting his first collection composed entirely of his intricate, hand-carved wooden sculptures. Lovegates has carefully crafted a diverse cast of characters in the hopes that it will encourage interaction and provoke thought from viewers. The grizzled characters are sure to provoke conversation, bringing attendees together to wonder about the history and personality of each and every one.
These shows open on May 7, 2022, with a reception from 6 PM to 10 PM. On view until May 28, 2022, at Thinkspace Projects.
