In her first one-person exhibition at as-is, Erica Vincenzi presents a body of work defined by a compelling interplay between clarity and ambiguity, presence and obscurity. Her paintings, lusciously painted small and medium-sized oil on linen artworks, transform everyday images—flowers, landscapes, figures—into evocative snapshots that resist easy interpretation. Though often based on her own photographs, her compositions do not simply reproduce reality; instead, they invite viewers into liminal spaces where meaning is both suggested and withheld.

"Rear lit" may be an apt metaphor for the five artworks by Rochele Gomez now on view as it describes both their particular manner of presentation as well as the wistful, retrospective attitude adopted by the artist as she addresses aspects of her own past. Each artwork consists of a single medium-sized color photographic transparency mounted in a white metal box and lit from the rear. And each photo depicts a different home the artist and her family occupied as they moved in and around Los Angeles in the years of her childhood and adolescence.
