MOONBLISS RIVERDREAM

Viewing Room

Vielmetter Los Angeles is thrilled to present Moonbliss Riverdream, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles

painter Kim DeJesus on view from January 25 to March 8, 2025. This exhibition marks DeJesus’s first

solo show with the gallery and features a selection of her recent abstract paintings, created using

acrylic, oil, and mixed media on canvas.

Kim DeJesus employs skilled techniques such as staining, pouring, and blurring, resulting in

voluminous, vibrant canvases that resonate with the complexities of nature, perception, and the human

psyche. Drawing from historical movements like Color Field and Action Painting, DeJesus's work

contributes to the rich tradition of American abstraction. These historical connections are enriched by

an intuitively driven feminist perspective and a spiritually ritualistic approach to process.

DeJesus’s bold explorations of form, light, and depth evoke the ethereal and emotional. Each painting

reflects on and builds upon the next. This creative progression allows DeJesus’s picture planes to

develop through both surrender and intention, chance and control. She choreographs energetic and

vivid compositions that pulse with life and offer space for transformation—equally for the artist herself

and for the viewer—by creating a harmonious balance of introspection and expansion, form and

formlessness.

Her approach to color field painting offers insights into the fleeting nature of memory, perception, and

the depths of consciousness, highlighting abstraction's potential as a poetic language. The works

in Moonbliss Riverdream evoke the vastness of outer space, suggesting an analogy to the enormity of

the spiritual realms we each hold within ourselves. This shift from outer to inner space encourages

viewers to tap into their own perception of space and consciousness to access nuanced levels of

awareness.
