Night Gallery is pleased to present Running Towards Nothing, an exhibition of new works by Newcastle-based artist Laura Lancaster. This is Lancaster’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles.

Lancaster is known for works which take found photographs as the basis for gestural, highly evocative paintings which reduce personalizing details in service to an exploration of atmosphere. The fluid lines of her paintings push their source material nearly to the point of abstraction, conjuring forms and spatial relationships through oppositions in value. The resulting images take on the murky quality of memory, depicting mundane moments pared down to their poetic essences.
