Kevin McNamee-Tweed

Steve Turner is pleased to present Literature, Kevin McNamee-Tweed’s debut solo exhibition in Los Angeles which features nearly three hundred objects across various media and from different series. There are three groups of paintings, one in glazed ceramic, another on muslin in unusual shapes and another which the artist calls his “butterfly” series which consists of rectangular canvases with two pairs of circular forms flanking a vertical line. McNamee-Tweed is also presenting drawings and relief sculptures that resemble shelves as well as found objects and printed ephemera.
