With work in the provocatively titled “softcore / HARD EDGE,” Tim Bavington will show alongside Billy Al Bengston, Alexander Caldwell, Karl Benjamin, Monique Prieto and thirteen other established contemporary artists selected by Los Angeles Times’ art critic, David Pagel, and The Art Gallery of Calgary’s Senior Art Curator, Marianne Elder.
Traveling from Elder’s institution, the exhibition will open at Claremont Graduate University’s East and Peggy Phelps Galleries on August 30, 6-9pm, and evaluate similarities of tone, palette, and brushstroke in contemporary painting between Los Angeles and Calgary. “softcore / HARD EDGE” will ultimately bring together sixty artworks that question similarities of contemporary art practice created in these two very different cities, not to mention some of the most distinctive voices of modern abstraction.
The show will remain on view through September 23, 2011.
