Kasmin is pleased to present Elliott Hundley: Everyday, Every Day, an exhibition exploring the artist’s quotidian rituals through paintings, works on paper, sculpture, and objects drawn from his Los Angeles studio. Conceived as a living exhibition, the checklist will progress through a series of groupings throughout the run to create an environment inspired by the artist’s live-work space, reflecting years of developing methodologies, accumulated materials, and the productive tension between routine and spontaneity.
Everyday, Every Day identifies drawing as the primary undercurrent in Hundley’s daily practice. Much like the approach shared by Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist figures of the 20th century, drawing has acted as an entry point and sustaining creative process in Hundley’s work for over a decade. Though employing varied techniques of abstraction, the presented works also include fragmented details of figures, and collaged elements that use appropriated imagery—including a stamp collection inherited from the artist’s great grandfather. Many are titled after the day of their making, reflective of a diaristic impulse that further characterizes the artist’s practice.
Exploring themes of time and memory, Hundley’s use and production of what he terms “image-objects” form a connective tissue between generations of image-makers and collectors, inviting onlookers to speculate on the narrative possibilities that the works embody.
