PRESS: Voice Magazine for Art Matters: 'The Sun Burns My Eyes Like Moons' Reviewed

“Now my friends, brace yourselves for a ‘sublime cosmic phenomenon’ of the exhibition by maverick, Los Angeles artist, Lia Halloran (b. 1977) at Luis De Jesus Gallery. The exhibition title, The Sun Burns My Eyes Like Moons, refers to photographs Halloran took during the total solar eclipse in 2017. This body of work is her homage to the sun.

Halloran's large-scale cyanotypes are produced through exposure to the sun. Each cyanotype panel is a unique positive imprint that occurs by placing translucent paper under the sun that acts like negative film absorbing light. Saturated with blues, black and pops of color, Halloran's painting ‘evokes the overwhelming grandeur and luminosity of the sun.”

The exhibition runs through August 14, 2021.
