Press Release

Fritz Chesnut’s paintings are fields of action. The LA-based artist builds his works from vibrating moiré patterns and grids that appear torn, aged, decayed. Far from flat, each line is a physical thread. An alchemist of process, Chesnut squeegees paint onto plastic, then cuts and transfers the dried skins onto canvas. The result is tensile, a surface hovering between image and structure, textile and digital screen.

“Stray Effects,” Fritz Chesnut’s new exhibition, consists of two paintings that suggest both torn fabric and aerial land photography. “I’m interested in structure with the dimension of time. Some sort of event that’s produced something in flux, changing from mechanical to organic.”

Chesnut was born in Santa Fe and lives in Los Angeles. He has mounted solo exhibitions at La Loma, AF Projects, There There, and CULT Aimee Friberg, among others. His work has been featured in group shows at White Columns, the Bronx Museum, and recently in “Painting All Together (Painting as Is IV)” at Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. His work has been reviewed in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The New Yorker.
