We are proud to announce that LaMonté French will have his first Solo Exhibition, Como Se Va with Ellio Fine Art in Houston, Texas.

"Como se Va" stands apart from French's previous works, as it is not simply layered with history, but with the artist himself. It is a reflection of his personal experiences, emotions, and perspectives, imbued within the layers of the canvas. It is a unique and intimate representation of the artist's innermost self, and a powerful expression of his personal vision.

It is a deeply personal work, one that tells the story of a metamorphosis, of a duck's journey towards becoming a swan. It is an exploration of the many facets of the self, and the various versions of oneself that one may embody throughout life. The canvas becomes a visual representation of this transformative process, a powerful expression of the artist's personal growth and evolution.

French has developed a unique visual language, in which different idioms serve as symbols for deeper narratives, often rooted in history. This masterful use of symbolism imbues his work with rich layers of meaning, inviting the viewer to delve deeper and uncover the stories hidden within. It is a testament to French's exceptional ability to convey complex ideas and emotions through his art.

His incorporation of Wall Street journals into his canvases is a noteworthy aspect of his art. The deliberate placement of the journals imbues the canvas with a sense of purpose and meaning, as if the stories and events depicted within the pages are woven into the very fabric of the piece. The energy and narrative contained within the layers of the canvas is truly astounding.

French's evolution as an artist is captivating. His incorporation of unconventional materials into his practice demonstrates his exceptional creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of his artistic expression. It is a testament to the depth and versatility of his talents

"Como se Va" is not simply a collection of 12 individual works, but a living, ever-evolving entity. It reflects the ongoing journey of French as an artist, just as his own evolution and growth will continue. It is a representation of the dynamic and fluid nature of artistic expression, and a reflection of the artist's own evolution and growth. It is an ever-unfolding narrative that will continue to evolve and expand as the artist does.
