LOS ANGELES, CA.- Merry Karnowsky Gallery will present a solo exhibition by Gregory Euclide, What Was Still In The Pause of My Advance. Euclides multi media paintings and sculptures are meditations on nature and the way in which humans experience the natural world. Euclides three-dimensional works begin with elaborate drawing-based paintings of picturesque landscapes on paper, to which he adds found objects, both organic and inorganic. By-products of human consumption are recycled and made beautiful- Styrofoam becomes a layer of snow, bubble wrap becomes a babbling brook, discarded blue paint becomes the sky. The artist finds beauty in the superficial, and uses discarded materials to show the regenerative properties of nature. His masterful paintings and sculptures explore the ways people experience and interact with nature, from idealizing its beauty to attempting to dominate and control the land. Eucl
