Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia
by Deborah Calderwood
April 24 – May 23, 2010

Reception for the artist:
Saturday April 24, 5 – 8 p.m.

Los Angeles, CA—CB1 Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition of the work of artist Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia. The paintings and works on paper titled "by Deborah Calderwood" are based on found childhood drawings Deborah Calderwood made when she was eleven years of age. The show opens on April 24, 2010 and closes on May 23, 2010. A reception for the artist will be held at the gallery on Saturday, April 24, 2010, 5 - 8 p.m.

Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia's work is informed by multiple sources ranging from personal anecdotes to art-historical and ethnographic motifs. He usually works on multiple bodies of work within the same timeframe, each with its own content and formal qualities that are distinct from each other.

As the eleven-year old creator of the drawings upon which these works are based, Deborah Calderwood's name is painted onto most of the works, thus honoring and complicating their authorship. These works are emotionally and psychologically charged as Deborah grew up to be the woman the artist married, Deborah Hurtado Segovia. Each work directly borrows from the found drawing's pictured subject while
amplifying their formal qualities through process, media, color and composition.

Born in Júarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, the artist graduated with a BA from UCLA in 2003 and an MFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 2007. He is one of the Graduate Fine Arts alumni featured in the exhibition, "The Story of O", on view at the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of Art and Design, from April 10 - June 5, 2010. He lives with his wife and son in Los Angeles where he also maintains his studio.
CB1 Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in historic downtown Los Angeles.

The gallery exhibits and promotes an intellectually demanding yet aesthetically pleasing group of younger artists and mid-career artists who cross disciplines and political perspectives. Gallery hours are Wednesday – Sunday, Noon – 6:00 p.m or by appointment.

The body of work collectively titled "Segundas" consists of paintings and drawings based on found pictures in various second hand stores. The drawings done by Lorenzo Hurtado are then photographed are anonymously donated to second hand stores. The reproductions of Lorenzo's works are exhibited in art galleries while the "originals" are sold in second hand stores. This inverts the usual provenance of works of art and their reproductions in two distinct markets.

La obra titulada "Segundas" consiste en pinturas y dibujos basados en cuadros encontrados en varias tiendas de segunda mano. Los trabajos hechos por Lorenzo Hurtado son fotografeados y donados anonimamente a tiendas de segunda mano. Las reproducciones de la obra de Lorenso se exhibe en gallerias de arte mientras las "originales" se venden en tiendes de segundamano, invirtiendo, de tal manera, la provenencia de obras de arte y sus reproducciones en dos mercados distintos.
