Vielmetter Los Angeles is pleased to present new works by Edgar Arceneaux for this year’s edition of The Armory Show.

Edgar Arceneaux’s *Skinning the Mirror*series harnesses the alchemical qualities of silver nitrate, a pre-modern technology that transforms glass into mirrors, to explore notions of identity, place, and cycles of life and death. Arceneaux’s paintings decouple the silver nitrate from its mirrored substrate and mix the substance with glass and acrylic in bold gestural abstractions.

The resulting works blur the boundaries between figure and ground, positive and negative space, chance and intention. Arceneaux’s multi-media practice across painting, drawing, installation and sculpture pulls from science fiction, civil rights era speeches, techno music, and the architecture of Detroit, and finds synchronicity through changing states of matter and meaning.
