Press Release

Night Gallery is pleased to present American Gothic, a two-person exhibition of new work by JPW3 and Grant Levy-Lucero. JPW3’s oil on panel paintings abstract the nameplates of American newspapers into textured, gray expanses and vibrant environmental scenes. Other new works feature bunnies, celestial motifs, and reduced green and black compositions that reference type. Levy-Lucero debuts a series of ceramic sculptures that depict American pop culture icons as cookie jars. Together, the pair defamiliarize the language and symbols that have earned our collective trust.

This is JPW3’s fourth major presentation with the gallery, following Root-Bound, 2021; Drifting the Bog, 2017; and 32 Leaves / I Don’t / The Face of Smoke, 2014, for which the artist created a sound collaboration with Daniel Pineda. JPW3 also participated in the group show Shrubs, 2022. This is Levy-Lucero’s third major presentation with the gallery, following Reflections, 2021 and Central, 2017-8, and his participation in the group show Majeure Force: Part Two, 2020.
