press release

L.A. Louver is proud to present sculpture by Luis Bermudez (1953-2021). This survey exhibition of work made between 1986 and 2014 demonstrates the artist’s lifelong preoccupation with the interconnected nature of place, identity, and materiality, and the relationship between the physical and the spiritual. Entitled Sobre La Vida, which translates to "About Life," the presentation celebrates the creative developments of a beloved cultural figure, who was an influential force in the lives of artists both within and outside of Los Angeles throughout the course of his career as an artist, educator, and curator.
