ARTS GALLERY: SAGE VAUGHN

Exhibition Opening at Known Gallery in Los Angeles on 01/13/12

January 14, 2012

On Friday, January 13, 2012, painter/collage artist and newly minted purveyor of woven goods Sage Vaughn presented his first solo show of 2012 at Known Gallery in Los Angeles, California. For this exhibition, entitled "Last Year," Vaughn's instantly recognizable paintings/multimedia pieces were translated onto large woven rugs.

 

The pieces, all chosen from Vaughn's five-year-deep "Envelope Series" (literally painted on envelopes), are mostly nature- and figure-based in subjects, but present satirical, often farcical points about American society and pop culture. This satire, of course, is only amplified when presented in large, woven format.

 
Sage Vaughn's "Last Year" exhibition at Known Gallery runs through January 29, 2012.
