Los Angeles, CA – LeBasse Projects is proud to announce ʻAs Quiet As Itʼs Keptʼ, a solo exhibition by
Philadelphia-based artist, Jim Houser.

In Houserʼs new exhibition, ʻAs Quiet As Itʼs Keptʼ the artist returns to Los Angeles with an insightful array of works ranging from canvas paintings, mixed media compositions and installations. Here, Houser continues his perpetual examination of self-exploration and the meditative peace found in quietness compared to the
joys of sound.

Through each whimsical character and play of words, the artist creates a visual dialog filled with personal and emotional tension. Inspired by his son, Houser also explores the impact of fatherhood and the new responsibilities faced. Within this body of work, the artist beautifully weaves the idea of our nature to protect
and the experience of witnessing growth of the ones we love.

Back in January Houser was part of a show here at The Slingluff Gallery. Here is the one that he showed, which is still available online for sale.
