Los Angeles.- Luis De Jesus Gallery is very pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Gail Roberts, entitled “Entanglement” on view from April 16 through May 28, 2011. This will be Gail Robert’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. An artists’ reception will be held on Saturday, April 16th, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. In Gail Roberts’s new paintings, images of birds’ nests are paired with books, titles and passages of text, creating a vehicle for inquiry and commentary into the artist’s reflections on nature, culture, and man’s temporal existence. The paintings are a further investigation of themes that she has explored in different ways throughout her 35-year career as a painter. Books and, in particular, classic literature, came into focus several years ago when she created a series of paintings that referenced the accumulation of objects in her personal life — memorials to the amassing of material items that illuminate and reassess what is valued and what is discarded.
