Sediment

Andlab Gallery, Los Angeles

Erica Gonzales Bibeau and Kristan Marvell

ANDLAB Gallery invites you to an exhibit of ephemeral and transcendent landscapes and sculptures of Erica Gonzales Bibeau and Kristan Marvell, two Los Angeles based artists in a show entitled Sediment at ANDLAB Gallery in Los Angeles.

Kristan Marvell's sculptures derive from a technique, which he developed and has worked with over the last twenty years; which he calls spontaneous carving. Through this visual vocabulary of textural planes and carvings, which seemingly reference the natural, and the organic, Marvell explores the confrontation between nature and man's manipulation and reconstruction of the world. On the most obvious level, the natural landscape is used as a point of inspiration, a visual ode to the raw power of its geological beauty. The work acknowledges and utilizes nature¹s ability to elicit emotional transcendence. The works are a contemplation of concepts as relationships between mass and density, volume and spatial balance.

A native of Los Angeles, Erica Gonzales Bibeau is a graduate of the Art Center College of Design and the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her photography studies the vastness of possibility in the subtle differences of the subject. Every step offers a new perspective exploring each minute detail. Erica's landscape photographs capture the changing palette in the atmosphere created by wild fires. The ruminates of the fire lingering in the air is all that is left and the pursuing calm is both eerily empty as well as profoundly beautiful. The airy composition of the landscape washed in muted palettes of the fires' smoke, focuses the viewers' attention to the vastness of tints and hue above.
