Alex Gardner We All Exist Right Now LONG BEACH MUSEUM OF ART December 10, 2021 – May 1, 2022 The Long Beach Museum of Art is pleased to present We All Exist Right Now by Long Beach-native Alex Gardner. The artist paints scenes of every day life—of people, existing. Faceless and androgynous figures appear to float in rooms with no walls, on chairs with no floor, and sometimes, without any relative markers at all. The notion of space is simultaneously presented as a continuous expanse and finite boundary with figures existing on planes in universes with no end. This definition extends to his subjects, who both take up, and become lost in the space they are in. We All Exist Right Now, Gardner’s debut solo museum exhibition, challenges introspection at its core. Presented by BCM Foundation Major support provided by Pasadena Art Alliance and Port of Long Beach. Additional support by TABC (Toyota). LONG BEACH MUSEUM OF ART December 10, 2021 – May 1, 2022 The California landscape has long been depicted by artists captivated by the coastline, the open plains, undulating hillsides, mountain ranges, and desert skies. A selection including works by George Henry Melcher and Maurice Braun reflect the ocean upstairs in the Jean and Charles Lane Ocean View Gallery.
