Sea View

About the Gallery
Sea View is a contemporary art gallery founded by Sara Lee Hantman at the top of the historic Mount Washington neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Built by Jorge Pardo as a “social sculpture” in the late nineties, the concept space originally functioned as the artist’s home studio as well as an offsite exhibition on view for five weeks by MOCA in 1998.

Twenty five years later, Sea View picks up where this interdisciplinary, artist-first endeavor left off – inviting guests to explore a similar juncture where art, design, and architecture meet. Named after its wide hilltop street and sloped vantage, where one can see as far back as the Pacific Ocean on a clear day, the gallery is dedicated to fostering a transhistorical dialogue between artists and designers within an intimate context.

About the Presentation
For Independent, Sea View will present a solo presentation by New York based artist, Jane Corrigan (b.1980, Shawville, Quebec). Painted in rich, liberal brushstrokes, Corrigan’s works explore the development of feminine or androgynous adolescents navigating a world that, like them, is rapidly changing. Interactions with ghosts, wild creatures, boundless nature, insolent classmates and enveloping darkness allude to underlying fears and anxieties; despite all this, the paintings appear enchanted, summoning the timeless archetypes of fairy tales and epic myths.
