Richard Heller Gallery presents new oil paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Amy Bennett. These works consist of various scenarios unfolding within an imaginary suburban neighborhood. Bennett has created a tabletop scale model on which the paintings are based.
“The model becomes a stage on which to develop the psychological implications of belonging to a particular family, with all of its dramas, struggles and familiar routines. I think: This tree will be taken down after an old man crashes into it; a father will transform this lawn into an ice skating rink; this house will be abandoned after its residents are scandalized on the evening news,” said Bennett.
This is Bennett’s debut solo show in Los Angeles. She also shows with Galleri Magnus Karlsson in Stockholm, Sweden.
The show opens on Jan. 6, 2007, and runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
