Quint Contemporary Art is pleased to exhibit new work by Icelandic artist Thór Vigfússon. This will be the first solo exhibition of the artist’s work at Quint Contemporary Art and will include approximately 16 new glass paintings. Vigfússon was included in a 2008 group exhibition at QCA featuring prominent Icelandic artists. Thór Vigfússon: New Glass Paintings, will open with a reception on Saturday, November 19 from 6 to 8 PM. The reception is open to the public and the artist will be in attendance.

For many years, Thór Vigfússon (b. 1954) has been investigating the interaction between art and its surroundings through works made of glass, plexi, mirrors, and formica. He primarily works with colored glass and mirrors, which allow for engagement between the work and the viewer. The misleading simplicity of Vigfússon’s works are constantly mutating on an intimate plane with the viewer. The artwork creates a dialogue with architectural design through their simple geometric forms and pure colors.

Quint Contemporary Art is very pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Peter Alexander, Mary Corse, and Robert Irwin. These three artists are all associated with the Light and Space movement in Southern California during the 1960’s and 1970’s. This will be the first exhibition at Quint Contemporary Art for Los Angeles based artists Peter Alexander and Mary Corse and the second exhibition for San Diego-based artist Robert Irwin. There will be a public reception on Friday, September 23 from 6 – 8PM. The artists will be in attendance.

“During the 1960s and 1970s, light became a primary medium for a loosely affiliated group of artists working in Greater Los Angeles who were more intrigued by questions of perception than by the notion of crafting discrete objects. Whether by directing the flow of natural light, embedding artificial light within objects or architecture, or by playing with light through the use of reflective, translucent, or transparent materials, these artists each created situations capable of stimulating heightened sensory awareness in the receptive viewer.”
