Calvin Ross Carl
Maria Walker
Josh Reames

Timeshares is a group exhibition featuring the work of Calvin Ross Carl, Josh Reames, and Maria Walker. Carl reinterprets common forms from the American home and work environment through the lens of formal aesthetics. Reames makes abstract gestures that draw upon beauty and the ideal in a tropical setting. Walker deals with chance and space in her paintings allowing time to effect the relationship embedded within her materials. The luxury and flexibility that Timeshares allows exemplify the artists’ sensibility of a resort vacation.

Peter Shear

LVL3 presents Transposed Planes a group exhibition featuring work by Seth Adelsberger, Stacy Fisher, and Peter Shear. Seth challenges the gestural frame of painting, referencing abstract expressionism and its history. Stacy works within series to confront the irregularity of the form as seen as a misfit model in display. Peter addresses the relationship between audience and object, creating abstractions on the verge of hybrid forms. Exploring the functionality of the picture plane, these artists conduct a dialogue that calls on various orders of structure.
