Lawrence Gipe
b. 1962, Baltimore, MD
Lawrence Gipe’s work ranges across the disciplines of painting, drawing, curating, video and archive-driven installations. The narratives that bind them are themes of power, propaganda, and a desire to analyze semiotics and codes of meaning in visual culture. Gipe’s practice is an ongoing investigation into an archive of coded and often culturally irredeemable images, gleaned from decades of seeking out ideologically tainted photo annuals, and vintage magazines dealing with energy, business and the military industrial complex.
Gipe has had 60 solo exhibitions in US galleries and museums in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf (Kunstverein Düsseldorf). Currently, he splits his time between Los Angeles, CA, and Tucson, AZ, where he is an Associate Professor of Studio Art at the University of Arizona.
Gipe has received two NEA Individual Fellowship Grants (Painting, 1989 and Works on Paper, 1996). A mid-career survey, “3 Five-Year Plans: Lawrence Gipe, 1990-2005,” was organized in 2006 by Marilyn Zeitlin at the Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona. Gipe has prioritized drawing as a primary medium, and had three solo shows in 2015, including “Where We Were, and How We Got There” at Lora Schlesinger Gallery in Los Angeles, CA, which featured a 50-ft. graphite mural drawing. His last solo exhibition in New York was at Alexander Grey Associates (2007) and he work is currently available at Lora Schlesinger Gallery, Santa Monica, CA, Paul Mahder Gallery in Healdsburg, CA, and George Billis Gallery, NY, NY.
In 2014, Gipe won a University of Arizona Confluence Center Grant for “Documenting Operation Streamline,” an on-going drawing project recording the plight of illegal immigrants on their journey through the Arizona court system via the controversial “Operation Streamline” process. “Operation Streamline: A Reader” was published with funds from the grant (2015), which combined sketches made in Federal Court with press clippings and original research from UA journalist students.
In 2017, Gipe was the Curator-in-Residence at ProArts in Oakland, CA, organizing a group exhibition called Everyone is Hypnotized: Artists Dérive the Bay Area. In the past three years, Gipe has co-organized 5 exhibitions for non-profit spaces including ProArts, Oakland, CA, Brand Art Center, Glendale, CA, Arena One Gallery, Santa Monica, CA; and Root Division, San Francisco (Curatorial Proposal Award, 2016). In April of 2022, his exhibition “Mapping the Sublime: Re-framing Landscape in the 21st Century” opened at the Brand Library and Art Center, an 18-artist group exhibition co-curated by Gipe and Beth Waldman. In March 2023, he co-curated a 50 -artist exhibition for the Huntington Beach Arts Center, CA, called “By Degrees: Art and Our Changing Ecology”; in August, he will present “how swift, how far”, a 9-artist group show using artists that address environmental themes.
Articles and reviews about his work have appeared in Vanity Fair, Harper’s Magazine, The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Art and Antiques, L.A. Weekly, Juxtapoz, Architectural Digest, Elle, The Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Talk, ArtForum, ArtNews, Art in America, Flash Art, Village Voice, Time Out New York, , BijutsuTecho (Japan); Kunstforum and Applaus (Germany).
Public collections include Block Museum of Art, Boise Art Museum, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Cincinnati Art Museum, Federal Reserve Board Collection, High Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Norton Museum of Art, Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, FL, San Jose Museum of Art, Yale University Library, and the Zimmerli Archive, at Rutgers University.
Gipe was most recently an art correspondent for Squarecylinder.com, a blog covering the Northern California scene. His art criticism has been published in FlashArt (reviews), L.A.Weekly (Reviews and essays), the Santa Barbara Independent (Essays and cover stories on art themes), and Artscribe (along with scores of others now extinct).
