SAMALA MEZA
POST SHOW VOL. 1
Samala Meza (b. 1996, Santa Rosa, CA) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. She received a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design. Meza combines a formal interest in geometric abstraction with an emotional fixation on the female form. Influenced by the graphic sensibilities of artists like Herbert Bayer and Erberto Carboni, Meza returns to the color field with criticality. In her paintings, women are collaged together out of soft, hazy patches of paint, the figure becomes a pattern or outline for the artist’s hand to explore. Their apparent visual minimalism invokes advertisements, which rely on the suggestion of sex through color and composition to sell products. Contesting the political neutrality of modernism, Meza gestures towards the legacy of Helen Frankenthaler, and Mark Rothko, in her pursuit of images that can bear witness to the complexity and frag mentation of female experience. Meza’s work is currently on display at The Hole, Los Angeles, CA . Her work has been exhibited at the Saloon, Santa Cruz, CA; Bolsky Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Aero Salon, Los Angeles, CA; New Low , Los Angeles, CA; K I A F, Seoul, Korea; and a three-person exhibition with Frances Stark at Carlye Packer, Los Angeles.
