Sayre Gomez on 'Heaven ‘N’ Earth' | In the Gallery | Xavier Hufkens

In this new video, Sayre Gomez discusses his solo exhibition, Heaven ‘N’ Earth (12 January—2 March 2024). “I’ve always been interested in the technicality of it or trying to learn how to do a certain thing. The type of painting I attach myself to is really rooted in trade — rooted in commercialism.” In Heaven ‘N’ Earth, his second exhibition at Xavier Hufkens, the Los Angeles-based artist Sayre Gomez devotes his attention to the physical and cultural survival techniques of those left behind in the wake of capitalist development, with a sincere commitment to documenting traces of lived experience in the ruins of deindustrialisation. Sayre Gomez (b. 1982, Chicago, USA) lives and works in Los Angeles. Sayre Gomez has risen to prominence in recent years with his semi-fictionalised and photorealistic paintings known as X-scapes. Executed in a wide range of techniques, including trompe l’oeil, airbrushing, stencilling and those used to paint Hollywood sets, his work is inspired by the urban landscape of Los Angeles.
