ABSTRACT ADJACENT at Mon Dieu Projects

Los Angeles, USA - Mon Dieu Projects’ second group exhibition strips away most, but not all, of the figurative elements from its inaugural show Intimate Exchanges. Abstract Adjacent is a fusion of Mon Dieu Projects’ founder’s artistic tastes. Juno Youn prefers more figurative works, while his co-founder, Spencer Walker, leans more toward the abstract. The show meets in the middle, celebrating all that is not quite what it seems.
“Adjacent” is also LA-speak for being close to, but not quite part of something as in “Beverly Hills-adjacent.”

The exhibition splashes with bursts of flashing colors - some obnoxious, some refined; however, all the pieces express sublime sensory overload. Here in the adjacent, possibilities are unlimited with the artist’s visions, and the selected artwork is a stacked deck of imagination and extraterrestrial lands. An international mix of artists from Berlin, the great Canadian North, Mexico, and Los Angeles, including Jaehong Ahn, Eva Blue, Lucas Biagini, Nadege Monchera Baer, and Rick Boling; each artist’s works are singular, and they each take on their own askew approach to interpreting the world around them. Together, these paintings and photography create a dialogue between each other that begs the question, “What is abstract?”
