A show we are excited to see, as its in our backyard in LA’s westside as Derek Eller has opened a space on Main Street in Santa Monica. Jameson Green will showcase a new series of paintings in Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam, in a building designed by Frank Gehry. Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam translates as “I will either find a way or make one”, and Green’s exhibition explores the tragedy and promise inherent to the human condition in a visual vernacular informed by comics, caricatures, outsider art, and the western canon. Green’s expressionistic figurative compositions are ambiguous allegories which touch on issues of sacrifice, perseverance, the power of speech, and corruption. Without being didactic, the narratives present familiar scenarios with the possibility for open-ended interpretations.
