Samala Meza: This Grass is Green

by Sidecar

Carlye Packer is proud to present This Grass is Green, Los Angeles-based artist Samala Meza’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition takes place at Sidecar, opening Friday, May 23rd from 6 to 8 pm, This Grass is Green will be on view through Saturday, June 28th.

Meza’s new body of work presents color field paintings that approach femininity as a formal code— flattened, stylized, and distributed across the surface. Using softly-rendered shapes and carefully repeated visual motifs, Meza creates a language of erotic abstraction: diagrams that suggest exposure without revealing, that invite desire without naming.
