The concept behind the show that There is more than meets the eye to every great work of art. Throughout history, artists have portrayed subjects that are alluring, beautiful, even cute, at first glance - the enigmatic smile of DaVinci’s Mona Lisa, Van Gogh’s mysterious starry night skies, and Takashi Murakami’s happy sunflowers, all share a deeper, if not darker, meaning below their surface. Hidden symbols and meanings are used to either captivate the viewer’s thoughts, or draw out the artist’s intended emotion. “Below the Surface” features 30 International contemporary artists who follow in this tradition of non-representational art to create a more interesting larger image. In other words, a common thread in their works is what lies below the surface of each.

Curating this exhibition is Caro Buermann, an independent artists’ agent and curator specializing in Japanese contemporary art who has become an institution in the LA New Contemporary art scene with her recurring articles for the well-known art publication Hi-Fructose Magazine. Following her successful curatorial debut “Dreamlands” for Corey Helford in 2015, Caro joined the gallery as its Special Projects Curator, where she continues to curate monthly group exhibitions and solo offerings from exciting, emerging talents.
