Solo show
Caroline Kent: A Sudden Appearance of the Sun
from 13 Nov 2020 at Los Angeles
· Los Angeles County
Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles presents A Sudden Appearance of the Sun, a solo exhibition of paintings by American artist Caroline Kent, held in 2020.
Kent's large-scale abstract works draw on a personal visual language of signs and symbols, navigating the threshold between the legible and the ineffable. Her canvases — often dark, atmospheric, and richly layered — evoke a sense of emergence and revelation, as if meaning is perpetually on the verge of surfacing. The exhibition title itself captures this quality: a sudden, unexpected illumination breaking through uncertainty.
