The Contemporary Art Modern Project is excited to welcome February with three new exhibitions running simultaneously from February 7th-28th.
Follow along as Light Speed explores time and space through the work of artists Liz Leggett and James Akers. Both Leggett and Akers work with vibrant color palettes to create abstracted organized chaos. However, their work diverges in creative processes and technique. Varying between mediums and layers, Leggett works at high speeds to create visibly expressive marks throughout her canvases. These quick but precise markings then merge to form elaborate works that can be scanned for hours only to continuously find new details to appreciate. Akers, on the other hand, is forced to slowly create his neon sculptures due to the nature of the medium. Glass is a delicate medium that requires patience and respect which Akers demonstrates as he molds the glass tubes to his liking. Akers veers away from traditionally commercial methods of glass production and creates unique sculptures that bend the rules as he bends the tubes. The final product of Leggett and Akers’ labor are masterful works reflecting the movement, chaos, and energy of the universe.
