EL ROYALE IV: INFINITE PLANES HIGH [LOS ANGELES]
Loyal returns to the historic El Royale for the fourth annual exhibition inside this Los Angeles landmark. Infinite Planes High brings together fourteen artists whose practices explore form, rhythm, and dimensionality across painting, sculpture, and installation.
The title reflects a field of continual expansion. Layers, meanings, and possibilities unfolding without fixed horizon. It suggests ascent and evolution. A space where growth is not linear but cumulative. Within this terrain, artistic gestures create a dynamic interplay of planes, building structures that are both material and atmospheric. Subtle references to speculative cosmologies and multidimensional frameworks remind us that our visible world is only one register within a more intricate continuum.
Infinite Planes High refers to the picture plane as something unstable and expansive. A plane is a surface, but also a level, a register, a condition. Many of these works operate across more than one at once. Personal memory intersects with inherited history. What appears contained opens outward.
Installed within the ground floor parlor of El Royale, the building enters the conversation. The pistachio green neon sign still hums above Rossmore Avenue, suspended between past and present. El Royale carries a century of lived-in history, glamour, reinvention, quiet endurance. Within this architecture, Infinite Planes High becomes both site and state. A gathering of distinct practices operating across connected planes.
Infinite Planes High is a site and a state and a school. A shifting, multidimensional plane where matter, perception, and imagination are tested. An invitation to inhabit that expanded field. Upon entering, we are all in attendance.
The exhibition continues with Part II as the inaugural presentation in Loyal’s new permanent space in Lund, Sweden, housed in a former chapel, opening March 13. Across the two locations, Infinite Planes High expands geographically while remaining anchored in a shared inquiry into surface, rhythm, and the unseen structures that bind them.
