In fall 2022, ICA LA will present a 20-year survey of Los Angeles-based painter Rebecca Morris (American, b. 1969), an artist best known for her large-scale paintings and inventive approach to composition, color, and gesture. It will be the artist’s first major museum survey exhibition since 2005, and Morris’s first exhibition of this scale in Los Angeles, a city she has lived and worked in for over 20 years. One of the most formidable and inventive painters today, Morris’s practice demonstrates a rigorous commitment to experimentation and abstraction. Featuring 35 paintings, the exhibition will closely examine Morris’s deep investment in the practice and history of nonrepresentational painting, all the while pushing against its perceived confines and limitations.
