One Man Group Show is a survey exhibition spanning 38 years of the work of Los Angeles based artist Don Suggs and opens at the Ben Maltz Gallery on Saturday, April 14, 5-7pm and is on view through June 23, 2007. This exhibition is co-curated by Doug Harvey, Artist and Art Critic for the LA Weekly, and Meg Linton, Director of the Ben Maltz Gallery.
Don Suggs: One Man Group Show is an exhibition and publication that shows the continuity of 35 years of a singular vision in multiple forms. The exhibition includes drawing, painting, photography and sculpture from Suggs’ major bodies of work: Passions, Autochthonous Views, Proprietary Views, Portraits, Old Genres, Heuristic Paintings, Tondototems, Paint Ons and Feastpoles. As Doug Harvey points out in an article published in Modern Painters, “The reason more people don’t know about Don Suggs isn’t hard to figure. Of the 7 solo exhibitions . . . at LA Louver . . . no two would lead you to suspect they were the work of the same artist.” Suggs works in 3-5 year periods on a particular idea and with specific media, and it is only with a span of time that the continuity, substance and intelligence behind his aesthetic pursuits are now visible. Artists are often pressured by the market to find a singular modus operandi and Suggs has taken the road less traveled. He is an artist’s artist and has followed his varied interests in a methodical and intellectually captivating way.
The forthcoming exhibition catalogue is being published in May 2007 and features full color reproductions of Sugg’s work and essays by Doug Harvey, Paul Vangelisti and Nevin Schreiner with a foreword by Meg Linton. This publication is designed by Anne Swett and is made possible with the generous support of Otis’ Board of Governors, LA Louver, Pat and Stan Kandel, John Gordon and Roman Lujan and the Ben Maltz Gallery.
