Not Too Late: A Benefit Exhibition Organized in Collaboration with Art into Acres 3 May - 7 June 2024This May, Charles Moffett is pleased to present a special group exhibition, Not Too Late, featuring new and recent work by 21 artists and organized in collaboration with Art into Acres. A long-term philanthropic partner of the gallery, Art into Acres was founded by artist and conservationist Haley Mellin in 2017 as a nonprofit initiative that transforms the proceeds from the sale of donated artworks into acres of conserved land. Through this special exhibition, the gallery strives to raise collective awareness and catalyze the fundraising for Indigenous-led land conservation. In a testament to the gallery’s steadfast commitment to this cause, Charles Moffett is honored that all ten of the gallery’s represented artists have donated their work to the exhibition; and is deeply appreciative of the generous contributions of eleven artists with whom the gallery has had close and meaningful ties throughout its first six years.Read more -

Biography

Alec Egan (b. 1984, Los Angeles; works in Los Angeles. MFA Otis College 2013, BA Kenyon College 2007.) Egan's bodies of work include thickly impastoed figurative landscapes, and, separately, intricate, vibrantly rendered interior scenes that use object motifs, tropes of nostalgia, and the absence of humans to imbue the depicted objects (like socks on a windowsill) with something melancholic and profound. A thread of cohesion between paintings begins to emerge as the viewer realizes that each painting within a grouping of works represents a different view ofthe same theoretical house, conjuring hypothetical narratives around the 'absent homeowner' behind the constructed environment. Since 2017, the artist has presented a sequence of exhibitions that each deal with a new portion of a singular imagined home. Egan is represented in New York by Charles Moffett and in Los Angeles by Anat Ebgi.
