The Fountain of Giant Teardrops Neil Ledoux Pigna, 60 x 48 inches, Oil on Canvas, 2009
Opening reception: January 23, 7-10 PM. For "The fountain of giant teardrops" Neil LeDoux will present new paintings and drawings that continue exploration into the artist's past experiences, recounting memories and historical guides that help us piece the puzzle back together. The series is based on a hallucinatory memory LeDoux imagined during his childhood. He recounted the story of seeing a fountain in the thick Louisiana forests. Its beauty was so astonishing that he immediately wanted to share it with his friends and family, but when he took them back to see the fountain it was nowhere to be found. Neil LeDoux was born in 1976 in Louisiana. He is currently a BFA candidate at the California College of the Arts. His work has been included in group exhibitions at the California College of the Arts, in San Francisco and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. This is his first solo exhibition with Silverman Gallery.
