Olivia Bonilla and Liz Rundorff Smith: Maximalist Playground

Yellow and orange sculpture in the style of an ancient Egyptian bust, and two-dimensional artwork with graphic shapes in yellow, blue, and red

Art & Light Gallery is pleased to present Maximalist Playground, a two-person exhibition of work by Olivia Bonilla (Charleston, S.C.) and Liz Rundorff Smith (Travelers Rest, S.C.) launching on the website and in the gallery at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 3 with an opening reception on Friday, September 6 from 6 to 8 p.m.

For Bonilla and Rundorff Smith, repetition is important both formally, in the reiteration of forms and sequencing of color and conceptually, in the connection to mass production, consumerism and the reference to the structure of the grid in art historical context. The work leans into the more is more aesthetic of maximalist design with a focus on bold colors, patterns and objects.
