LY. The Ways LUVS look

GR gallery is pleased to welcome back LY for her first New York City Solo show, after last year collaboration. 

In "The Ways LUVS look", LY will be showcasing her raw talent by revealing 15 new artworks appositely created for this occasion. These canvases, exemplarily executed with the artist signature unlimited gray scale palette, will picture LUV, a gloomy and cryptic stylized figure, that is LY's omnipresent character and sort of alter ego, in newfangled scenarios and occupations. 

For her upcoming exhibition LY turns her focus to her immediate surroundings, but with a new visual approach. She explores the boundary between black and white, boosting her signature palette with countless new nuances that reflect a variety of emotions and thoughts.

Her subjects are now moving from the iconic scenes in the skatepark, burger or pizza joints toward a deeper journey into moments of daily existence that serve as a kind of self-portrait.

"The ways LUVS look" focuses on the new journeys that LUV, a bittersweet projection of the artist thoughts and feelings, is running across. He is travelling to never visited places, engaging in different activities and meeting new friends. A completely revisited forest, traditionally a holy environment, revitalized by distinct shapes and peculiar grey tones, symbolizes the unknown context; even in the interior scenes this is noticeable from the window and highlighted by never explored objects, full of hidden meanings, like flowers and vases. Also LUV's outfits now change according the surroundings, giving him new different looks, and now, beside mingling with his usual friends is often accompanied by cute dogs. 

We invite the visitor to discover LUV's new adventures by visiting this highly anticipated exhibition.
