EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY marks the first solo exhibition at Sophia Louisa Projects featuring Los Angeles photographer Alan Kornfeld.

Kornfeld has exhibited his work in numerous group shows in Los Angeles, and was awarded the "Alma Ruiz Award" at the Open Call Los Angeles Exhibition.
Kornfeld's photographic images arereflective and realistic. At times he uses a Holga camera to manipulate images that are diffused abstractions. His work ranges from immediately accessible to curiously disconnected.His solo exhibitionis a series of recentblack and white works that explore not onlythe fatigue and ennui of daily life from Cubato the back streets of Los Angeles, but the beauty of the simplicity of life.

Sophia Louisa Projects is presenting a new interactive approach to fine art in Los Angeles with a blend of cutting edge artists with must see events within the gallery space. For the launch, GraceBeautyFortitude brings together for the first time three prominent Los Angeles based artists, Rebecca Niederlander, Leigh Salgado and Coleen Sterritt.
Curator Sophia Louisa Lee defines the elements of grace, beauty, and fortitude through these artists’ unique contemporary works of sculptural art. Each artist’s individual work is strikingly beautiful and strong. Together they become an enlightening experience.
Rebecca Niederlander, a recipient of the ARC Grant from the Durfee Foundation, exhibits work from her Family Tree series. These are hovering, animated hanging works made from plastic insulated copper electrical wire that create a space filled with energy and determination. In these pieces, all elements are connected, with each aspect modulated by the subtle movement of the whole.
Leigh Salgado, a leading proponent of sculpted drawing, exquisitely transforms archival paper with Exacto knives to eviscerate the negative space between the lines in her ink drawings, while texture and shadows reinforce a physical experience. Her delicate objects exude sensuality as well as a quiet strength.
Coleen Sterritt, represented by d.e.n. contemporary, is a professor of sculpture, and has been recognized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles by being part of its permanent collection. Her commanding works emanate a grounding, powerful force while maintaining a gentle grace.
