Three Concurrent Solo Exhibitions

Track 16 Gallery, Santa Monica

Doug Edge: New Paintings & Rocks
curated by Kristine Mckenna

Kate Harding: Whiskey Creek

Bob Biggs–OPP: A Roadmap to Nowhere

Doug Edge
Since the 1960s, Doug Edge has been innovative in his use of media—plastic, resin, wood, glass, and steel—while maintaining a conceptual yet socio-political approach to his work. Author Michele De Angelus describes Edge as "a man who intuitively understands the nature of each respective medium, its inherent properties, and so fully and passionately rejoices in and celebrates the inherent possibility of each." Though he is best known for his sculptures, Edge is equally evocative in his most recent paintings.

Kate Harding
Harding's Whiskey Creek series explores the construction and deconstruction of nature, and change of seasons using leather garments. The Whiskey Creek pieces embody the context of the mediums' past lives: as animal, skin, second skin, property, and fashion statement. Details are indicated by well distinguished, however, irregular shapes of color whose translation border on the topographical. The surface treatment and its simultaneous suggestion of illusionary space create both elements of description and abstraction.

Bob Biggs
Though he is widely known for his involvement in Slash Magazine and for founding and heading Slash Records, Bob Biggs has painted throughout his career. His most recent body of work is the culmination of his persistent attention to paring down imagery and stripping it of its meaning.

Opening reception Saturday, September 6 from 6 to 9 PM
