Lorna Simpson’s first exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles – ‘Everrrything’ – will fill both North galleries and the open-air courtyard of the gallery’s Downtown Arts District complex with new sculpture, painting, and collage. Expanding her critically admired Ice series, Simpson’s new paintings allure viewers with layers of paradoxes, threading dichotomies of figuration and abstraction, past and present, destruction and creation. Collages on view continue the artist’s ongoing exploration of the medium through her appropriation and reimagining of imagery from vintage issues of Ebony and Jet magazines, which have been integral sources for Simpson over the last decade. The new works on view reveal the ways in which Simpson’s multidisciplinary, multivalent practice uniquely deploys metaphor, metonymy, and formal prowess to offer a powerful response to the daily experience of American life now.

‘Everrrything’ will also debut new sculptural works, both indoors and outdoors, that further invite viewers into the intricacies of Simpson’s vision.
