SUMMARY:Seth Armstrong: Artist Talk & Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join Seth Armstrong as he leads a walk-through of his exhibitio
 n\, Lil' Baja's Last Ride on Sunday\, December 16 at 2 pm.\n--\nSeth Armst
 rong creates paintings that arrest a sense of time. Some offer expansive v
 iews and others a contracted intimacy\, moving freely in and out of public
  and private spaces to create intersecting narratives. Known for paintings
  that self-consciously capture the act of looking - whether as a voyeur in
  trespass or a participant in the landscape - Armstrong apprehends the sim
 ultaneity of the city as a place of endless\, contingent narratives\, jarr
 ing interruptions and suspenseful pauses. \n\nIn Lil' Baja's Last Ride\, 
 the artist presents a sequential vignette of over ten new paintings in whi
 ch his own car becomes an unlikely protagonist. His immersive approach to 
 his subject matter often produces anecdotal adjuncts. Following several pi
 lgrimages into the landscape between his home in LA and Lancaster for the 
 exhibition\, a route\, incidentally\, which also happens to have personal 
 childhood significance for the artist\, Armstrong's beloved beater and pro
 verbial instrument of research\, 'Lil' Baja\,' caught fire and was partial
 ly incinerated in the museum's parking lot. The overarching narrative stru
 cture of the works feels ambiguously suspended somewhere between fiction\,
  social realism and personal history. In an ending befitting Armstrong's o
 wn penchant for cinematic turns\, poetic hooks and absurd knacks\, Lil' Ba
 ja's Last Ride is an unexpected swan song in memoriam to an old friend's f
 inal expedition.\n\nArmstrong is a Los Angeles-based painter who holds a B
 achelor of Fine Arts degree from California College of Arts in San Francis
 co. His paintings have been exhibited throughout the United States and Eur
 ope. He is represented by Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles\, Vertical Ga
 llery in London and Bold Hype Gallery in New York. His work has been featu
 red in international art fairs such as SCOPE and the LA Art Show.
