Nino Mier Gallery is thrilled to share a two-person presentation by Liliane Tomasko and Otis Jones for Frieze Los Angeles 2024. Tomasko and Jones are artists with unique approaches to medium and materiality, united in their abstract explorations of surface. Tomasko’s gestural compositions on canvas move between layered webs of fluid marks. Jones’ shaped paintings, on the other hand, comprise sculptural, stacked plywood, painted in monochromatic and dichromatic shades. While Jones’ post-minimalist works possess a rugged elegance in which elements of the construction process—glue, staples, lamination—are visible, Tomasko’s sleek abstract-expressive works ask viewers to delve into the immaterial—the inchoate miasma of subconscious thought.
