Detritus #34, acrylic on pressed wood abstract wall sculpture, 2017

2017

Joan Grubin sources paint-covered, protective pressed wood from a supply that amassed in her studio over a 13-year period. She cuts and orchestrates these vibrant fragments, covered in accumulated layers of detrital brushstrokes, into collages that look and feel like gestural painting. These modestly-scaled works of deeply saturated color constitute a diaristic record of random studio activity: drips of glue, imprints left from paint-soaked toweling, bits of tape, and plaid-like streaks of color from painting countless paper sheets.

This artwork is part of a series called "Geometric Sculpture" and is a unique 3D sculpture that features a variety of vibrant colors including yellow, orange, red, blue, dark blue, and black. The sculpture is abstract in nature and showcases geometric shapes that add actual depth and space to the piece, making it visually striking and aesthetically pleasing to the viewer. Zach Touchon has expressed a desire to step outside the traditional square format and focus on movement and 3D effects. As a result, the sculpture creates shadows that further enhance the 3D effect, making the piece truly dynamic and engaging. Touchon has also mentioned his goal to create even larger pieces in the future, pushing the boundaries of the series and the medium itself. Overall, this artwork is a visually stunning and unique addition to the "Geometric Sculpture" series, showcasing the artist's dedication to creating pieces that challenge traditional art forms and create a sense of depth and movement. -- Zach Touchon is a contemporary LA-based abstract expressionist artist. Besides that, Touchon is also an actor, a singer, a screenwriter, and an owner of the Touchon Gallery.

As a muralist, Touchon joins the ranks of such great LA street artists as WRDSMTH, Retna, Shepard Fairy, and Dirt Cobain...
