Nohra Haime Gallery opens exhibition of works by Gregg Louis
(Artdaily.org)

Nohra Haime Gallery presents Gregg Louis’ fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, entitled Mirage. The exhibition represents the evolution of the artist’s Blind Paintings, a body of work started in 2015 with a series of self-portrait paintings, later turning his gaze toward the landscape and objects surrounding him. Louis paints fractured images that feel akin to a blurred glance, rather than a clear depiction of an object or place. Since 2015, Louis has traveled to diverse and exotic locations, including the High Deserts of Southern California, the sultry French Riviera and the vibrant streets of Cartagena de Indias. Throughout his travels, the artist explored unique landscapes and scenery, producing drawings along the way that became the foundation for this exhibition, Mirage. His distinct technique starts with a blind contour drawing done in situ. He later transfers the drawing onto an unprimed canvas
