Carrie Ungerman, "Leisure

Landscape," 2002, letraset
transfer on paper, 11'4" x 8'.

In her first local solo exhibition Los Angeles-based Carrie

Ungerman fills the gallery with geometric imagery. A true
formalist who possesses a distinctive design and compositional
sensibility, Ungerman has created an installation of framed
drawings as well as a large scale site specific wall work.
Ungerman works with Letra-set /press type applying the
prefabricated letters, lines, and shapes to the wall or the page to
create a dynamic pattern. The works all have a compositional
integrity and a witty charm. The drawings are intelligent and fun,
and the installation plays with both scale and materials in new
and innovative ways (Acuna-Hansen Gallery, Downtown).
