April 6 – May 11, 2024
Gallery reception: Saturday, April 6 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm
We are pleased to announce “Hannah Karsen: Seven,” a presentation of photo-based artworks by this early-career (b. 1989, Chicago IL) Los Angeles artist.
Please join us for an opening reception on Saturday, April 6 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. “Hannah Karsen: Seven” is presented in conjunction with “Brian Sharp.” Both exhibitions continue through May 11 at as-is.la
“This body of work,” the artist explains, “is a study of location that has developed over the past ten years. The title of this exhibition is derived from the geographical name of this space, a looping trail set in Northern California overlooking the ocean.” What the resulting artwork offers, Karsen continues, is “a suggestion of landscape as body, as gold necklace, as abstract marker of dimension, as a palpable sense of a certain softness, as a relationship, as a questioning of where the line exists, as a trace that becomes faint, finding it and losing it again.”
Hannah Karsen received her MFA from the University of California at Riverside in 2016. She has since exhibited at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, at Gallery Luisotti (and, through them, at “Material” in Mexico City) and at the California Museum of Photography in Riverside, California. Works by this artist were recently acquired by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art for its permanent collection. This will be Hannah Karsen’s first one person gallery exhibition.
