WE ARE HERE/ HERE WE ARE
A Perpetual Possibility, Amanda Mears, 2020, photo transfer, charcoal and spraypaint on canvas.
The QR code for this painting is installed by the real gate whose shadow forms the image in this painting. If you visit around 10am you will see the shadow at this exact angle. My paintings are rooted in my practice of drawing from life and photographing textures and shadow patterns. The paintings weave together elements of these drawings and photographs. Some details are amplified, others are subtracted, until a sense of place emerges.

OPENING: MAY 16, 2020
VARIOUS LOCATIONS AROUND LOS ANGELES COUNTY
Durden and Ray presents We Are Here / Here We Are, a Los Angeles County-wide exhibition of nearly 100 artists that explores our innate desire for connectivity through sensation. Due to the constraints of the COVID-19 lockdown, the artists in this exhibition have chosen public spaces to display their work — from Santa Monica to the East Side and from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach. The location of each piece will be posted on a Google Map that allows the exhibition to be explored virtually or in real life.
The installation location at 700 Westbourne Drive, 90069. The gate is on the right.
