Thurs 11.8 LandMsIn Venice…

L & M ARTS exhibits new work by Los Angeles based artist Monica Majoli. This will be the artist’s first gallery presentation in her hometown. Themes of absence, projection, attachment and temporality have informed Majoli’s work over the past 20 years. Across shifts in subject matter and materiality, her paintings often instigate voyeurism or triangulation with the viewer through the visual reenactment
