Ty Joseph: “The Meaning of L”

Opening Reception Thursday, December 13, 2018 6 - 10 PM

“Vibrant. Enigmatic. Meaningful."

Although influenced by Pop Art, with its bold, eye-catching images and impersonal approach, at the core of Ty Joseph’s work is an intrinsic desire to express individuality, elegance, and social interactions by applying symbolic overtones.

Working with vivid, distinct colors on large canvases, Ty infuses his sense of identity into each of his works with signature sweeps of L-shaped patterns. When viewed from a distance, these patterns create an illusion of unity that, upon closer inspection, reveal a much more complex, multi-faceted image, much like the idea of individuality itself.

Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts Gallery (GDCA) is pleased to host Ty Joseph’s first solo exhibit, where he will reveal a comprehensive body of work from 2017-18. Since his first appearance on the art scene, Ty has been a sought after artist by both private collectors and art enthusiasts alike.

Born in Hamburg, Germany and raised in Israel, Ty spent two years touring America as a musician before finding a true home in Los Angeles and returning to his first love, art. His work has been featured in a handful of group showings exhibiting a selection of both established and emerging artists.

"The Meaning of L" is a journey across Ty’s evolvement as an artist exploring the topics of his choices as they had been reflected through his paintings, such as the search for a definitive identity and social conditions.

Join us for the exhibition opening night Thursday, December 13th!

Ty Joseph will be including copies of his latest book covering the body of work in parallel with his thoughts.

“I like to think that my artwork comes out of nowhere or nothing, because this would make it very pure. But I know it's not. Nothing ever comes out of nothing, and nothing is never really pure. It's not that I think about what I do too much, but it's more about what I discover later. In the beginning when people started to ask me about the meaning of my L's, I didn't know what to say. I thought they came out of nowhere. But now I say that they stand for 'Los Angeles', or they stand for 'elegance', or they are the missing syllable from my name when I changed it to Ty. But when it comes to my art as a whole, portraying elegance is very important to me because very few seem to care about elegance anymore – especially in art.” - Ty Joseph

Cody York: “Light Divisions”

Opening Reception Thursday, December 13, 2018 6 - 10 PM

“Light Divisions” is a new exhibition by contemporary abstract artist Cody York, which is based on the exploration of layers, balance and light found in nature, our environment and the human consciousness.

His technique of layering and scraping, pouring and brushing welcomes viewers to employ their imagination and thought as they enter in to the abstract landscape within the realm of his paintings.
