BE THEREFrom Here on OutPresented by BUIA Gallery September 15, 2007- October 20, 2007Reception: September 15, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pmLucas MoranBUIA Gallery is pleased to present From Here on Out, the debut New York solo exhibition of artist Lucas Moran. In vibrant works on canvas, Moran creates an onslaught of energy and emotion pairing more formal abstract painterly gestures with figurative nods to Japanese and American Pop art and graffiti writing. Moran¹s fusion of high and low painting traditions and his visceral application frame an inquiry into emotion, psyche, and community. In Summer Jam 2007, Moran offers a glimpse of urban physical and psychological landscape. With a bright yellow decrepit apartment building as a figurative anchor occupying the left of the composition, Moran posits two large-scale graffiti tags floating against a more traditional painterly background and partially obscured by hyper contemporary gestures: drip of lustrous yellow and another of nuclear green paint descend upon the composition and a glowing orb of black seems to be the object of a silhouetted profile¹s gaze. A sense of decay is evident while a rambunctious, acerbic, positive energy pervades creating a kinetic visual smorgasbord. Lucas Moran is a New York based artist whose work was featured this past December at the Pulse Art Fair in Miami. He has participated in several group shows in the United States, most recently in Sunny, Clear, and Cool at BUIA. Amongst others, press credits include The New York Times. We are very pleased to announce Lucas Moran¹s debut New York solo exhibition.
