'Lost in the Thicket' new work by Nate Frizzell

LeBasse Projects warmly welcomes gallery represented artist Nate Frizzell for his new solo exhibition, Lost in the Thicket. In this much anticipated show, Frizzell introduces new themes of self discovery within his work.

While Frizzell has always striven to create work that speaks about the human condition, Lost in the Thicket finds the artist's scope narrowed to the concept of discovering one's own identity and the obscured paths that follows. As a result, each painting becomes a metaphor for choosing different paths in life, while finding oneself.

Though his illustrative meets hyper realistic aesthetic always exhibits Frizzell's tremendous technical merit, he aims to push the envelope even further in this collection in terms of both depth of subject and physical skill. As a result, 'Lost in the Thicket' features stunningly detailed works in which a series of protagonists radiate from their surrounding environment with matched innocence and helpless confusion.

Some footage from the 2009 Huntington Beach Fish Fry. We had around 6 shapers and about 20 boards to try out. Many boards were rode and waves fished. Sorry for the lack of footage, I was to busy fishing!

Make sure to make it out next year!

LeBasse Projects presents "Future Perfect"
a solo exhibition by Tessar Lo
April 11th – May 2nd
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 11th, 7-10p

Los Angeles, CA – LeBasse Projects is proud to announce "Future Perfect," the first solo exhibition from artist Tessar Lo.

Lo developed his first solo show around the idea that the future is completely unforeseeable. Only in our dreams can the future be a utopia, and while anything is ultimately possible, the reality is we do not know where we will find ourselves.

Lo’s paintings often depict these ideas and emotions he cannot easily express in words. While on the surface Lo’s work often has the feel of an intimate storybook, upon closer inspection we see a deep sense of vulnerability and loneliness. The paintings for his solo exhibition continue to develop these feelings as he states his desire to be an island - alone, not needing to rely or respond to anyone but himself. The series of paintings are also larger in scale than anything Lo has worked on before, partly directed from his fear of being a merely decorative artist and partly from his increased confidence in his craft.

The unique emotion and techniques that make up Lo’s work have turned him into one of the most buzz-worthy emerging artists working today. With shows booked into 2010 from London to Los Angeles and appearances at Art Basel Miami and in NY on the horizon expect Lo’s first solo exhibition to be a significant step in what will undoubtedly by a significant career.
