AT THIS HOUR

La Loma Projects is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition with New York-based artist Losel Yauch.

At This Hour is Yauch’s examination of grief, depicting it as a kind of gentle companion rather than a beast to be wrestled with.
 


The works in the exhibition detail a single suspended moment, in and around an allegorical house, from nine isolated perspectives—offering the viewer fragments of context for a story with feeling and meaning, but unaffected by a linear plot. Yauch’s scenes are serene, and subtly surreal— delicate, but heavy with an overpowering awareness of someone’s presence and absence all at once, in spaces where it is unclear if someone is just about to arrive or has just departed.
 

​

Yauch focuses on sheer materials and the shape of light as a visual tool to communicate the feeling of loss and examine the presence of absence, fragility of form, and on a broader scale, the concept of grief. Her paintings articulate subtle yet considered distinctions between the intangible and the out of reach.

 

She plays with how to reframe the mundane as something suddenly unfamiliar and strange instead;

drawing your attention with overwhelming stillness and inviting you to wait with them for a moment, in their eternal pause.
