In celebration of its first anniversary, See Line Gallery presents Hybrids, a solo exhibition of the work of Ebony G. Patterson.
Based in Santa Monica, See Line Gallery was established in the interest of bringing a wide range of national and international emerging artists to the attention of Los Angeles art enthusiasts. Over the course of the past year See Line has generated buzz in the art community and attracted attention for consistently exhibiting compelling work.
To celebrate the success of the past year and introduce a notable artist to the LA community, See Line will present a special event marking the opening of Hybrids, new work by Ebony G. Patterson. The opening reception of September 8th will feature music and cuisine inspired by Patterson’s native Jamaica.
Highly respected and widely exhibited in her native Jamaica, Ebony G. Patterson is beginning to receive recognition in the international art scene. Known for her exploration and abstraction of sensuous femininity through Jamaican cultural identity, growing interest in the work of this young, prize-winning artist has resulted in numerous exhibitions in Jamaica and Europe.
Accomplished in painting, printmaking and sculpture, Patterson’s mixed media works can be found in both public and private collections. Rooted in an interest in the body as object, Patterson’s representations of female body reflect a profound fascination with the flesh, as well a deep interest in aestheticizing both the little seen and familiar elements of women’s bodies. Combined with Jamaican references, Patterson’s meditations on the body and culture resonate in a compelling hybrid of both content and media – much like the ethnic mélange of the West Indian culture that permeates her work.
Patterson’s work can be seen concurrently at the Brooklyn Museum’s Infinite Island: Contemporary Caribbean Art. With this exhibition, See Line Gallery celebrates the completion of a successful first year and reaffirms its commitment to bringing attention to distinctive work from both the US and abroad. This will be Ebony G. Patterson’s first exhibition in Los Angeles.
