Press Release

Night Gallery is pleased to announce The Lemon, an exhibition of new paintings by Cynthia Daignault. This is Daignault’s second solo show with the gallery, following Elegy (2019).

Daignault is a painter of life. She depicts the natural world around her, but also the photographs, documents, and screens that permeate everyday life. On November 23, concurrently with The Lemon, she will debut a new commission of paintings in the group show Ordinary People: Photorealism and the Work of Art since 1968 at The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Los Angeles, organized by Anna Katz, Senior Curator, with Paula Kroll, Curatorial Assistant. For that show, Daignault presents a monumental 486-panel artwork, Twenty-Six Seconds, that reconsiders each frame of the Zapruder film, the home-movie that captured the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. Both exhibitions continue and deepen Daignault’s interest in history painting, exploring how images and media shape our shared consciousness.

About the Artist

Cynthia Daignault investigates concepts of monument, memory, and the shifting experience of the natural world in a contemporary response to the genre of history painting. For Daignault, landscape is witness. Throughout her practice, she draws parallels between the environmental setting and the mechanical act of seeing. This investigation into optics acts as a metaphor for the polarities at the heart of American life and the reverberations of historical trauma.
