German-born artist Franziska Klotz collects snapshots which she then reconfigures as dreamily abstract paintings. According to a press release announcing her Nowhere Right Here show at the Cerrasolil Gallery, Klotz's layering technique allows viewers to make connections organically, rather than immediately. In many of her large-scale paintings, brush and spackle paint applications coincide with graphic elements and aerosol techniques. Her exhibit in Culver City, California continues through May 13.
