A FEW SCOPE ART SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

Lua Brice’s Folding Light Location: Atrium

• Lua Brice’s Folding Light installation takes center stage with its mesmerizing interplay of light, geometry, and sound. Exploring the invisible forces that shape our world, Brice uses self-intersecting patterns to create an immersive experience that challenges perceptions and highlights the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. This work invites viewers to slow down, reflect, and find beauty in the often-overlooked threads that connect us.

NOT FOR THEM Location: D021

• Marcarson began his career in 2008 under the influence of his admiration for Marcel Duchamp, Francis Bacon and Paul Klee. After bolting out of his conservative family home in East LA, he quickly found his true calling in streetwear while exploring the subcultures of Venice Beach. NOT FOR THEM, a concept gallery of his own works, quickly gained recognition among artists and collectors. Today his mark can be found in both popular and unassuming locations - the striking logo, "freeface", is a signature emblem representing the freedom to live life as you see it.

The Trophy Room LA Location: H005

• The Trophy Room LA makes its debut at SCOPE with an exciting lineup of works by Vivien Ebright Chung, Michael Draghi, Rollin Leonard, and Amalia Angulo. Painting rules the day here, and Chung and Angulo are standouts. Chung’s work draws from the opulence of Rococo masters like Watteau and Fragonard to reimagine a past that never was—a utopia that strips away violence, guilt, and hierarchy in favor of hedonistic worlds of pure pleasure and harmony. On the other hand, Angulo's work centers on coquettish but frightening figures who smile as they burn under blue skies, flaunting swollen, visibly wounded bodies on incongruously comic beaches. Southern California – and Miami’s – ethos of idyllic vanity saturates these scenes, and these blonde, blue-eyed beachgoers stare at viewers, perfect teeth in high contrast against charred flesh, tight and tender.  The artists’ use of figuration imagines how mental affictions—fear, guilt, and shame—“might look if they materialized in the flesh.”
