Renaissance Undone
LOISIR GALLERY, LOS ANGELES, USA. SOLO SHOW 10 Sep - 30 Oct 2025 Renaissance Undone
A solo exhibition by lan Rayer-Smith
To encounter lan Rayer-Smith's paintings in person is to feel the power of scale, gesture, and colour working in unison. The experience is not simply visual, but emotional. These are works that speak to the body as much as to the mind.
The paintings are monumental yet intimate, alive with movement and energy. While inspired by the beauty and balance of the Renaissance, they are not bound by its order.
Fragments of the past collide with the present: echoes dissolve into raw abstraction, figures appear and vanish, and the brushwork holds both risk and release. These tensions create paintings that feel timeless and immediate, refined and instinctive.
For the collector, each canvas is a unique and unrepeatable record of the artist's search for meaning through paint. They carry aesthetic and cultural weight, affirming painting as a living, evolving language of expression.
Renaissance Undone is a declaration of artistic intent. It signals this British artist at the height of his powers, ready to extend his presence on the international stage. For those drawn to bold vision and lasting impact, this body of work offers an opportunity to connect with a practice as fearless as it is soulful.
