Helen Lundeberg’s Day and Night, (Cloud Shadows), 1959-1960 is included in the thought-provoking exhibition The Holographic Principle at Philip Martin Gallery in Los Angeles. The exhibition focuses on two-dimensional work by 19 artists whose works span seven decades. The artworks represent the artists translations of three-dimensional reality onto two-dimensional surfaces. The artists consider, according to the press release, “what picture-making is, how it works, and what it means.” The exhibition explores expanded ideas of painting and more specifically abstraction. Lundeberg speaks to her relationship with abstraction saying “I have never been interested in pure, non-objective abstraction: I love, too much, the forms, perspectives, and atmosphere of our natural world…What I try to do is use abstract forms to create three dimensional forms, to suggest, to evoke…”
The Holographic Principle is on view May 6 - June 3, 2023, with an opening for the artists Saturday, May 6 from 5 – 8pm. More information about the exhibition can be found on the gallery’s website here.
