Ed Moses and Peter Shelton: Recent Works

"Ed Moses and Peter Shelton: Recent Works," May 27 - Junew 24, 1989, L.A. Louver.

L.A. Louver is pleased to announce an exhibition of two California masters. Recent paintings by Ed Moses compliment new castings by Peter Shelton.

The recent paintings of Ed Moses continue to place him at the forefront of abstract painting in California. Biomorphic, fluid forms dominate these new canvases, layered on floating fields of color. Moses pushes and loosens the grid of his earlier oeuvre, while keeping the complexity and intensity.

New castings by Peter Shelton will also be on view. In this work, Shelton continues his exploration of abstracted body forms and biomorphic shapes. The show includes pieces in bronze, copper, and cast iron with hand applied patinas. Coming on the wave of his tremendously successful exhibition "Waxworks," which travelled from The Des Moines Art Center to The San Jose Museum of Art and the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, this is an excellent opportunity to see recent work by a recognized master of contemporary sculpture.
