AARON MORSE AT HAMMER MUSEUM
AVV 4-4 #734635
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. â The Hammer Museum, Hammer Projects, presents an exhibition of Aaron Morse through June 12.
Morse is a Los Angeles-based artist whose paintings depict epic collages of imagery pulled from sources as divergent as Twentieth Century American politics, Nineteenth Century Romantic literature, comics, art historical painting genres and current events.
Morse weaves these various themes together to fabricate symbolic, alternative worlds in which time and history seem at once recognizable and otherworldly. Animals and humans intermingle in colorful, surreal landscapes where space is disjointed and turbulent. For the Hammer Museumâs lobby walls, Morse created Timeline, a monumental wallpaper design, printed and reworked by hand painting.
Hammer Museum is at 10899 Wilshire Boulevard. For information, 310-443-7000 or www.hammer.ucla.edu.
