the Landing Gallery is pleased to present our first exhibition with Los Angeles artist Maxwell Hendler. This will be Hendler's first show in Los Angeles since the closing of Manny Silverman Gallery in 2015.

In 2015, after 25 years, Max’s resin pieces came to an end. His thoughts turned, next, to ideas he had worked on in the time before resin. 

This was in the late 1980’s when he worked with much friendlier materials of wallboard, pegboard, and stucco..work dubbed ‘The Builders’ Emporium School of Art’. Today it would be the Home Depot School, and it was there and at various lumberyards where Max looked to develop his ideas, ideas that ultimately  led to the works in this show. 

Max has always loved the smell of lumber yards and their inspiration of hope and beginnings. He says about this show, “Their physical nature reveals the poetry of these works.”
