Combining swimming pool motifs with the seductive tactility of velvet, Heydays explores the innate beauty of LA's distinct architecture. Framed by a custom cast woven belt, cascading steps surrounded by California vegetation are embossed onto a sheen velvet canvas, which undergoes a multi-layered dye-ing process, immersing the viewer into a haze of color reminiscent of the diffusion of the sun's rays.

Lior Modan is a Tel-Aviv born visual artist based in Brooklyn, New York whose critically acclaimed abstract works play on the intriguing contrasts between painting and object, abstraction and figuration, gestural and surreal. Modan's current body of work employs compression using various vacuum casting methods of hand-dyed velvets to create a pillowy aura around graphic silhouettes of everyday objects.
