Two Exhibitions At Anat Ebgi Gallery You Need To Know About
From now until October 27, these two exhibitions will feature the work of Jordan Nassar and Martin Basher
Situated on La Cienega Boulevard, Anat Ebgi was founded in 2012 as a platform to promote the work of young artists based in the Los Angeles area.
The gallery has since grown to represent an international roster of emerging talents across a wide array of mediums. One of their most current exhibitions features a new body of work by New York-based Palestinian-American artist Jordan Nassar. His second exhibition with Anat Ebgi is entitled ‘We Are The Ones To Go To The Mountain’ consisting of a suite of sixteen hand-embroidered vertical landscapes.

These new works continue ongoing dialogues in Nassar’s practice between his own embroidery and its connection to Palestinian places and cultural traditions. Contemplating his personal experience traversing the metaphorical gulf of diaspora, yearning to be part of something, yet remaining always an outsider peeking through a veil. Nassar’s work questions the cultural heritage and inheritance of diasporic persons.
The second exhibition at Anat Ebgi is entitled ‘Birds of Paradise’ by Martin Basher. Marking his third exhibition with the gallery, Basher has created a suite of new still life paintings depicting highly stylised arrangements of Bird of Paradise flowers and minimalist abstract botanicals.

The exhibition will also include a number of Basher’s signature fade stripe paintings—alternating vertical gradations of intense sunburst oranges and yellows. Together these works represent a continuation of the artist’s interests in phenomenological affect, dimensional interplay and environmental stress in the anthropocene.
