SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Hosfelt Gallery, San Francisco
(see times)
Exhibition 16 May - 20 June; Reception 16 May 4 - 6 pm; Tu, We, Fri, Sat 10-5:30, Th 11-7
In his first solo exhibition in the United States, German painter Bernard Lokai presents two bodies of work - multi-paneled grids he terms "Landscape Blocks" and singular bold abstractions. Lokai uses the historical vernacular of painting - including the gestural brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism and the spray paint of graffiti - to simultaneously absorb and disrupt traditions of landscape and abstract painting and to explore the question of how to make a picture.
Bernard Lokai was born in 1960 in Bohumin, Czechoslovakia. After his parents escaped from the former Czechoslovakia Lokai grew up in Du?ren, Germany. He studied at the Kunstakademie Du?sseldorf under Gerhard Richter.
