N
ow open at KP Projects in Los
Angeles is from Inside, a new solo
exhibition for artist Joe Sorren. The
exhibition will feature Sorren’s playful,
imaginative works often depicting stylized
figures in states of calm joy and peaceful
reflection.
His new works, and the title of the show,
came to be as a response to the mood
and intensity of the world. “During the
creation of this body of work, so manyupsetting things have been happening
involving current affairs,” Sorren says.
“The deeper my research, the deeper my
sadness. It became important to me that
I create a body of work that generates more
questions than answers; to create spaces
inside of the viewer that can allow the light
of introspection in a little.”
He continues, “I was interested in
playing with the dichotomy between
application of paints as well as theimagery that evolves from application.
Because brushstrokes are tiny recordings
of energy and intent with that energy, I
became fascinated with the push-pull
that this can establish. Once you begin
to work with this dynamic, you find
that the work can display another level
of communication that, in all but the
most aggressive passages, remains a
subconscious informant.”
