Glimpse
Curated by Evonne M. Davis and Jo-El Lopez
February 22 - March 28, 2020
Opening Reception February 22, 7-10PM
Gallery Aferro
73 Market St
Newark NJ
Glimpse arose from Evonne M. Davis' fascination with and love of materials that reveal the artistic process. With almost 100 national artists and collectives participating, the exhibit features a substantial, immersive range of sketches, sketchbooks, artist books, lists, musings, drawings and studies, "black books," proof sheets, and doodles on napkins or the backs of envelopes dating from as early as 1860 to the present day.

December 4, 2018 - February 9, 2019
This exhibition is comprised of 24 prints: The Station series, the Black, Gold series, ISI.I, Rdvik, and White, Grey series.
In the Station prints I wanted to create an object that is weird and incomprehensible, something unknown with a lot of energy, something which evokes a big disturbance. The prints combine drypoint with hard-edged shapes (similar to a relief process) and gold leaf.
In the Black, Gold prints I arranged fragmented numeral forms to create unknown symbols.
The Rdvik and ISI.I prints are abstract black & white works on paper, inspired by fragmentary dark structures outlined against a dull white sky.
I construct these works with hard-edged forms and lines, with cut paper and black printing ink, with the whites of paper and tape, with the ragged black of a drypoint line and the grey of the paper from the plate tone. I cut the paper and mend it, sometimes darkening the cut with ink. I glue stiff strips of cardboard, blackened with ink, to the paper. I peel back the grey surface of the paper, revealing white beneath the light grey film of ink. I extend irregular shapes and angular lines beyond the edge of the paper, and 3-dimensionally off of the surface.
Instead of drawing a picture of an imagined lonely structure in a barren nature, I am building that structure with heavy paper and printing ink.

Many Things Unknown With Gold
September 15 through December 15, 2018
Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 26, 2018, 6 to 8pm
Open for Fort Point Open Studios - October 13 & 14, Saturday & Sunday, 12-6pm
FP3 Gallery
346 Congress St. Boston, MA 02210
Monday - Friday 10-6 Saturday - Sunday 10-2
FP3 Gallery presents "Lara Loutrel : Many Things Unknown With Gold." The exhibition consists of wall-mounted sculptures and printed works – objects that are weird and incomprehensible, unknown forms with a lot of energy, arrangements which evoke a big disturbance.
Loutrel created the five wall-mounted sculptures over three months at the Bridge Guard Residency in Štúrovo, Slovakia. Each is 48 inches long and 5 inches high with irregular profiles. Two are curved and three have faces at different depths. They are hung well above eye level, forcing the viewer to look up at them, and making the bottom edge an integral aspect. They are not static - they appear very different from different angles, and in different lights.
The works are light greenish-grey painted wood panels with gold leaf, zinc paint, and black and white paint. Gold leaf reflects light above and below them.
The prints are a continuation of Loutrel’s interest in “something unknown with a lot of energy, something which evokes a big disturbance.” They were created at the Kaleidoszkóp Ház in Esztergom, Hungary - one kilometer across the Danube river from the Bridge Guard Residency in Štúrovo. They combine drypoint with hard-edged shapes (similar to a relief process) and gold leaf.

The Investigations of the Horizon
July 7 - August 29, 2014
Reception: Friday, July 11, 6-8pm
First Friday: Friday, August 1, 6-8pm
Gallery@ArtBlock
725 Harrison Ave. Boston MA 02118
Hours: M - F 11 - 5, Sun. 12 - 3
The Investigations of the Horizon features the work of Lara Loutrel. The exhibition consists of black and white, abstract works which are partly inspired by atmospheric optical illusions and the awe and mystery that one feels as one observes something that defies physical reality.
Loutrel constructs concise, evocative objects. By using lines that diverge slightly from true, or angles that are just off of right, she creates tense arrangements of irregular shapes and misleading depth cues, making it difficult for viewers to resolve the forms into dimensional space. The pieces are unadorned and precise, but not without evidence of the artist's hand.
The exhibition centers around the H Di. series. Supported by a grant from the Artists' Resource Trust, the series consists of eight geometric, black and white wall-mounted constructions. They are each approximately 60" x 12" x 5"d and made from painted wood. Additionally, there are works on paper, smaller multimedia pieces, and models for the wall mounted sculptures.
