Preview: “Space//Squared” Group Show at White Walls

by Nastia VoynovskayaPosted on

The upcoming group show “Space//Squared,” opening May 10 at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco, examines the contrast between the man-made and natural environments. Put together by architect and guest curator Sven Davis, the exhibition features artists with a penchant for geometry: Moneyless, Adam Friedman, Mary Iverson, 2501 and many others. Iverson’s work is especially evocative of the underlying concept: She imposes linear grids over sublime landscapes, suggesting human beings’ need to systematize and categorize the natural world. Scott Listfield’s painting of an astronaut descended on an empty planet echoes a similar theme: Our anxiety over the unknown drives our impulse to explore, to make the land somehow less wild for better or for worse.

Though beautiful, his paintings are filled with tension, as the subjects often appear in conflict with each other and their surroundings. In an artist statement, Ludwig writes that his recent work reflects “a yearning for classic beauty [which] coexists with struggle and chaos.”
