David Ligare: Sea Paintings
Koplin Del Rio Gallery

N. Robertson Blvd. | West Hollywood, CA 90048 | 310.657.9843

Koplin Del
Rio Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings
by David Ligare. This marks the twentieth anniversary of his first
independent exhibition at Koplin Gallery in 1983 where he has
had seven solo shows. For
this exhibition the artist utilizes the strict horizontal geometry
of sea and sky illuminated by his familiar late afternoon sunlight
to present minimal seascapes that are a delicate balance between
order and chaos. In the 1970’s Ligare produced a series
of paintings depicting a single piece of white drapery thrown
above the sea. In this exhibition, several of the seascapes, titled
Equivalents utilize clouds, which allude to those earlier works.
In the focal painting of the exhibition, a diver also seems suspended
in mid-air like the earlier thrown draperies. The figure of the
young man and the photographic quality of light are modern, but
the subject has its precedence in Ancient Greek art.
David Ligare
grew up in Los Angeles and studied at Art Center College of Design.
In addition to the solo exhibitions, the artist’s work has
been included in many group exhibitions around the world. His
paintings are in numerous public and private collections including
the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Wadsworth Atheneum Museum
of Art, Hartford; Gabinetto
