Teddy Benfield & Tara Lewis: Cover Story: Two-Person Exhibition
Abigail Ogilvy Gallery is pleased to present Cover Story, a two-person exhibition featuring new paintings by Tara Lewis (NY) and Teddy Benfield (RI).
Cover Story brings together Teddy Benfield and Tara Lewis in an exhibition that reconsiders still life as a site of narrative construction, where objects shift from passive subjects to active agents of meaning. The works on view invite a reading aligned with what Bill Brown has described as “thingness:” the moment when objects exceed their function and assert a presence that is cultural, psychological, and affective. Through this lens, both artists challenge how we locate ourselves in relation to the material world and the systems of meaning it sustains.
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 11th from 5 - 8 pm
1923 S. Santa Fe Avenue, Los Angeles, CA
Street parking is available nearby on 11th Street and surrounding streets
