Gallery exhibition
Alison Saar
Coup
L.A. Louver is pleased to announce the gallery’s first solo exhibition of the work of Alison Saar.
Entitled Coup (derived from the French couper, “to cut” as well as meaning an aggressive blow or rifle
shot), the exhibition will include both large and small-scale sculpture, as well as a series of drawings.
Alison Saar’s art is a personal form of visual narrative, which combines her skills in wood
carving with a sophisticated understanding of assemblage and folk art techniques. In Saar’s work,
spirituality and politics converge, to reflect the artist’s exploration of the role of women, in particular
African-American women.
