Last Truth Of The New

de boer (Los Angeles, CA) gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition in Last Truth of the New, featuring the work of ten artists pursuing abstraction through unexpected resonances and histories of art.

The truth of the new, as the truth of what is not already used up, is situated in the intentionless. This sets truth in opposition to reflection, which is the motor of the new. and raises reflection to a second order, to second reflection.

- Theodor W. Adorno

What does it mean to put your soul on display? Does the risk of unpacking narratives make you malleable enough to understand a history other than your own?

Examining language, conceptualism, meaning outside of narrative, civil issues, and personal and spiritual quests for beauty, the artists in this exhibition present experimental expressions. The works in this exhibition can be described by their intention to impart disruption for revolutionary change.

By drawing from the histories of art and human civilization, the imagery and titles of artworks in this exhibition hint at their representational origins. Architecture, the landscape, the environment, labor, figuration, time, and truth are themes explored. At its core, the works in this exhibition are rooted in lived experience and examine how forces such as migration, capitalism, and climate change can impact human populations and possibilities.
