Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is pleased to present Big Time Sensuality, a group exhibition curated by Alexandra Terry, opening on September 16th, 2023. This exhibition marks the official launch of the gallery’s new Los Angeles space, an exciting bi-coastal expansion from their original location in Boston, which owner Abigail Ogilvy Ryan founded in 2015.

Big Time Sensuality features a selection of paintings, ceramics, fiber works, and photography from artists across the Central Coast and Southern California. It is a jubilant celebration of the vibrant, the bold, and the playful.

The exhibition’s title was inspired by Björk’s 1993 eponymous song (from her debut album, Debut), which celebrates the upbeat energy and passion of being on the precipice of something exciting and having the courage to take the leap (an apt description of opening a gallery!). “Sensuality” also speaks to the vibrant, luscious nature of the artworks that light up our senses. Curator Alexandra Terry says that the exhibition “embarks on an exploration of the transformative power of potentiality, harnessing the unparalleled musician’s call for vulnerability and courage as necessary tools for creativity.”
