1275 Minnesota St / Bass & Reiner

Morgan Corbitt (b. 1997, Los Angeles) is a San Francisco based painter. 

The handful of paintings in this show are all born of the same process: photos are taken during the course of daily life, collages are made from those images, and paintings are made from those collages. The compositions are often rigidly byzantine with forms growing or shrinking based on their importance, relegated towards the margins or centered for dramatic effect. The forms themselves come from cellphone snaps and screenshots, poor images in a way that makes them feel more familiar but also uncanny when rendered in oil.

There will be an opening reception for the show on Sept 7th from 5-8pm.
