New York City.- The Andrea Rosen Gallery is extremely excited to present a focused study of Llyn Foulkes paintings revolving around the presence of the rock imagery spanning from 1963 to 1991. As a legendary figure and pioneer beginning in the 1960’s, Foulkes’ influence within the LA community is both “vast and unquantifiable” and while he has a deep following he is just now beginning to get his full recognition. Over the past number of years, his work has been included in seminal exhibitions from LA MoCA’s “Helter Skelter” (1992), the Hammer’s “Nine Lives: Visionary Artists From L.A.” (2009), to the Venice Biennale (present) which has brought a growing awareness and clarity to the wide range of his influence and the powerfulness of his unique artistic territory. “Llyn Foulkes” is on view at the gallery through December 3rd. In the past two years the Andrea Rosen Gallery have been carefully researching Foulkes’ complete oeuvre and is delighted to present this extremely specialized exhibition that studies Foulkes’ landscape paintings and our multi-faceted and veiled relationship to nature.
