Summary

  • Big Picture marks Josh Sperling’s first West Coast solo exhibition
  • The showcase will include both sculptural paintings and artistic furniture
  • Hosted by Perrotin Los Angeles, the exhibition will run from May 31 to July 3, 2025

Josh Sperling is preparing to debut his initial solo exhibit on the West Coast entitled “Big Picture“. Held at Perrotin Los Angeles, this event blends Sperling’s ten-year investigation into sculptural painting with his recent foray into functional design. Renowned for his exceptional handling of form and color, the artist from Ithaca presents a fresh perspective in his work, seamlessly integrating practicality and artistic expression. This showcase signifies an important milestone in his creative path as it ventures beyond conventional canvases to encompass interactive, modular components.

A significant aspect of Big Picture revolves around Sperling’s passion for modularity, as demonstrated in his striking furniture designs. His range of single and two-person stools, adorned with vivid Kvadrat wool, showcases both his fondness for mid-century design and his early fascination with Legos. These items carry on his distinctive themes – bullseyes and double bubbles – by incorporating them into practical objects that promote interaction and movement. Designed with versatility in mind, they can be disassembled or rearranged, transitioning from individual seats to a cohesive, sculptural setup that encourages creativity and camaraderie.

In the gaming world, I’d say it like this: “The grand finale at the exhibition is a breathtaking spectacle called ‘Swoops.’ It’s an intricate installation of canvas paintings, stretched tight and swirling with rhythmic patterns that echo through the space. This final piece encapsulates Sperling’s unique artistic essence, immersing me in his philosophical vision like no other.

The grand exhibition titled “Big Picture” by Josh Sperling will make its debut on May 31st, and will continue to captivate visitors at Perrotin LA through July 3rd, 2025.
