Exhibition Updates | Hyperobjects
Artwork spotlight and upcoming midshow reception!
If you visited the gallery during March, then you likely have seen the striking abstract art of Hyperobjects—a solo exhibition by Leroy David Nunery III.
Well, we are celebrating the halfway point of the exhibition this coming Saturday (April 4th) at 5pm! This mid-show reception, in particular, will be very special.
There will be an artist talk and Q&A followed by music. But not just any music—the music of the artist himself. Leroy used to DJ and occasionally still makes beats/artful sounds when he has the time, so we could not miss the opportunity to request a performance.
And I have a feeling there will be impromptu dancing—so please come out and join us! From 5pm to 8pm. Bring your kids, bring your family, bring your friends.
Artwork Spotlight
While I have you here, I want to highlight a couple of Leroy’s works as part of the artwork spotlights series that we do for each exhibition. There will be more artwork spotlights throughout April.
Fun fact to chew on: Leroy builds and stretches his own canvas!
The Brink (2025)
Medium | Oil on Canvas | Dimensions | 16 x 14 x 1.4
The artist’s description:
“In his book Hyperobjects, Timothy Morton discusses human ecology at the end of the world. The reality of the situation unfortunately means we are at the literal brink. While this precipice isn’t perceived to be one with a vision of hope at the end, like those before, we do still have the power to change things. Simply giving up is not how humans made it to this point.
We have knowledge those before us did not have, combined with the wisdom from observing their experiences. That is the power needed for a breakthrough.”
New World Water (2025)
Medium | Oil on Canvas | Dimensions | 36 x 48 x 1.5
The artist’s description:
“There are places were TB’s common as TV / Cause foreign-based companies go and get greedy / The type of cats who pollute the whole shore line / Have it purified, sell it for a dollar twenty-five.
Still entirely relevant, this painting was inspired by a 1999 song by hip-hop artist Mos Def (Yasiin Bey).”
Artwork spotlights are just small pieces of the whole picture. Come on out to LVF for viewing of all 30 works.
On Saturday, Leroy David Nunery III will talk a bit about his art and process; there will be opportunity to ask him questions or make observational comments about the exhibition.
Hope to see you then!
