Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work on a variety of mediums by artist LORIEL BELTRAN, marking his second solo show with the gallery. The materiality of an artwork and how it is composed has become a driving force in BELTRAN\'s large body of work. BELTRAN is perhaps best known for his process driven work, fueled by a desire to engage the dynamic forces of expression not through the representation of an idea, but the manifestation of an idea through its effects on materiality. By focusing on the actual process of making art, BELTRAN engages the limitations of the material properties, while responding to the representation of the symbolic format that artwork is displayed. His subject matter is not simply the truth of materials, but the life lived while making the work.
