Regen Projects II, Los Angeles
Semele. A large-scale wall bound collages, sculptures, and paintings
Regen Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Los Angeles based artist Elliott Hundley. This exhibition will feature large-scale wall bound collages, sculptures, and paintings loosely based on the Greek tragedy 'The Bacchae' written by Euripides. Hundley begins by orchestrating elaborate photo shoots where the sitters are adorned with costumes and props acting out key moments from the narrative. These photographs are blown up to become large-scale backgrounds, and are also cut up and the figures collaged to the surface. Piecing together photographs, paper, pins, wire, bamboo, foam, fabric, textiles, embroidery, and found ephemera, Hundley builds up the surface layer by layer in his formally elaborate constructions. Opening Reception: Thursday, May 26, 6-8pm.
