Luna Rienne Gallery is pleased to present Visual Indulgence, a two-person show featuring San Francisco artists Ingrid Wells and Heather Robinson.
Visual Indulgence is a foray into color and process with paintings by Wells and Robinson that are simultaneously playful and serious; simple and complex. Vibrant patterns are immediately inviting yet crafted through a deliberate and extensive process that involves modeling, masking, layering and more.
Well's work in this series, titled Spectacle, begins as still-life decoden, composed of tiny plastic objects undulating in fake frosting and sparkles, that are manipulated and enlarged into bright, bold oil paintings. The feminine imagery investigates American pop culture aesthetics of joy as simultaneously oppressive and empowering.
Robinson's work is from her series called Pattern Seeking, which strives for optimism in times of increasing chaos and uncertainty. Her goal is to evoke positive emotion through repeating textile patterns in multiple layers that are meditative, soothing and satisfying, representing the push and pull of order and disorder.
Ingrid V. Wells fancies the fantastic and humorous in theme, and the charming, kitschy, and celebrity in subject. Her paintings investigate the world of gendered consumerism and the ethics of fascination. She has exhibited in San Francisco, New York, Miami and South Korea and been featured in publications such as The Huffington Post, Teen Vogue, The Jealous Curator, and BUST Magazine. She earned her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and her BFA from Arizona State University. Wells lives and works in San Francisco.
Heather Robinson has an indiscriminate love of pattern and color, adores the handmade and the accidental, and possesses a great fondness for the imperfect. Beginning her art practice in collage and mixed media, she transitioned to painting to have more control over materials. Robinson studied environmental design and architecture at Texas A&M University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which instilled a passion for structure and a fascination with how people decorate their spaces. Her work focuses on the interplay of order and spontaneity. She has worked in San Francisco since 2007.
