◻️ Suspension ◻️

Suspension (2025) is a single artwork encompassing five individual canvases—the largest that the artist has painted to date.
The work is composed of a finely rendered colored-pencil grid over thin washes of acrylic paint on unprimed canvas. The stark white geometric grid is interrupted by small white circular forms painted with pigment and Flashe, which trigger an optical effect that disorients the perspectival distance between disparate elements. The central panel is raised and appears to hover, suggesting the absence of gravity, in a reference to the configuration of panels in the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas. The overwhelming size and visual effect of these vastly scaled fields of white prompt an intense physical response in the viewer, rooted in visual phenomena and enigmatic imagery. Hanna Hur’s paintings are developed through the prolonged and hyper-intensive experience of time, sight, and touch, and the work produces a similarly embodied phenomenological encounter for the viewer.

“I am tired of talk that comes to nothing”

Working at the intersection of painting and sculpture, Made in L.A. artist Patrick Martinez makes artworks that draw on the visual particularities of East Los Angeles. His walls made of cinder block enlivened by graffiti and neon directly reference the community’s vernacular architecture and the palimpsests, or layered mark-making, found on the surfaces of city streets. But more than depicting place, Martinez uses these familiar forms to comment on social, economic, and political realities and draw them into a narrative that stretches far into the past. These structures function as vehicles for storytelling, underscoring histories of displacement, gentrification, and cultural survival. Imagery borrowed from Maya murals seems to peek out from beneath commercial signage and peeling layers of paint. Unfolding slowly with visual complexity, these works argue that the past belongs to the present. Martinez’s neon signs speak the urgent language of advertising.

Get cozy these LA rainy days with Made in LA artist Amanda Ross-Ho’s TOUGH INDIVIDUAL sweatshirt.

Made in L.A. artist, Amanda Ross-Ho’s practice spans installation, sculpture, painting, and photography, often transforming ordinary, mass-produced objects into sites of intimacy and inquiry. Ross-Ho devised an edition for the Hammer store that is connected to her installation in the Biennial, which draws upon her experience as a longtime caretaker for family and considers time, longevity, and resilience. She writes:

“In March of 2020 at the onset of Covid-19, my father Ruyell Ho was hit by a car walking across the street from his apartment. He sustained numerous injuries, including fractured hips and a traumatic head injury for which he required numerous surgeries. Having already survived caner years before, my dad successfully made it through multiple procedures, prompting his brain surgeon to exclaim excitedly that he was a tough individual.  While my dad was in recovery, I shared the doctor’s comment with him, and he was amused to no end. He repeated it over and over, clearly proud of the moniker. Due to pandemic restrictions, I was unable to see my dad for over a year except through a glass window. In lieu of direct contact, I often sent him care packages and gifts through the mail. A few weeks after the doctor paid my dad this compliment, I had a sweatshirt made bearing the text and sent it to my dad.”

The TOUGH INDIVIDUAL sweatshirt is for the extra strong among us: the indefatigable, the fighters, the survivors, the ones who just keep going.

Made in L.A. 2025 on view Now - March 1 2026

The Made in L.A. biennial highlights the practices of artists working throughout the greater Los Angeles area, with an emphasis on emerging and under-recognized artists. The catalog for the seventh iteration, Made in L.A. 2025, includes curatorial essays and commissioned texts focusing on each of the 28 featured participants, spanning generations and working across a wide range of mediums. Neither myth nor monolith, Los Angeles is many things to many people, and its dissonance is perhaps its most distinguishing feature. Attitude draws them together: Each engages with this city in ways alternately literal, formal, material, and metaphoric. Conceived or made in Los Angeles, they are of this city and nowhere else. In the spirit of the exhibition, the book embraces writers’ voices from a broad range of disciplines. Among the contributions are interviews, critical essays and experimental writing exercises, all centered on and influenced by Los Angeles.

Catalog available for purchase in-store or online.

Noah Davis on view June 8- August 31 2025

The first institutional survey of the late Noah Davis(1983–2015) charts the breadth and depth of the American artist’s relentless output. Assembling over 50 works made between 2007 and 2015, the exhibition is organized in a manner that reflects the diverse interests informing Davis’s practice including current affairs, everyday life, family histories, ancient Egyptian cosmologies, the racism of American media, art history, and architecture. Inspired by vernacular sources—from flea market photographs to personal archives—Davis’s fluid painting style questioned complex histories of representation and image-making. Although the body of paintings he produced over a brief creative life was largely figurative, Davis employed unorthodox techniques and rich color palettes to create scenes that feel simultaneously realistic and dreamlike, joyful and melancholic, capturing the contradictory sensations of lived experience.
