“Paper or Plastic?”
A collaborative Solo Show by Luke
and Ginger Van Hook September 2012
Presented by Los Angeles Art
Association Opening at Gallery 825
The
exhibition, titled “Paper or Plastic?” seeks to extend the dialogue of the
light and space movement by showcasing small intimate works normally reserved
for recycling or disposal.
Light as
life becomes the focal point of the exploration. The ephemeral qualities
exhibited by inanimate objects becoming living works of art are where the
exploration of light and space in the sciences and arts intersect and this
theme opens a portal into a new dimension of art.
This
exhibition/installation hopes to raise new questions about the human condition
and the functionality of recycled materials. “Paper or Plastic?” additionally
explores the unique phenomenon of refracted light in the confines of a dark
space. This investigates how physical materials can transcend their mediums
generating further dialogue about reincarnation via the metaphor to do with the
decay of light interacting with recycling.
The
evolution of their collaborative process drives their artistic direction to
combine the elements of painting with oils (as the medium of plastics) and
painting with lights (utilizing the medium of LED lights) thus merging two
distinct art practices of an oil painter, Luke Van Hook and a photographer,
Ginger Van Hook, a husband and wife team.
