We are so excited to present a new exhibition of abstract paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Heather Gwen Martin. This will be Martin’s first solo show with L.A. Louver, and is presented as part of the gallery’s ongoing Rogue Wave Projects series that celebrates emerging artists. 

Martin employs an intuitive approach to painting, allowing compositional elements to develop and evolve from the transference of energy directly onto the canvas. Through this visceral exploration, the artist creates a sense of dimensionality, where biomorphic forms and sinuous lines appear suspended in time and space. Loose yet highly controlled, her paintings convey movement that reverberates from varied shapes, and is intensified by a refined use of bold, undulating colors.
