On view from November 3rd at Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is a one-person exhibtion of 15 new etchings by sculptor Richard Serra. The result of Serra's collaboration with the Los Angeles-based artists' workshop, Gemini G.E.L., the exhibition includes 9 "Rounds" and 6 "Torqued Ellipses", all large and highly-textured prints.  

"Drawing has always been a method for me to bring sculpture to definition", says Serra. Although best known as a sculptor, drawing and printmaking is central to his work. It helps him re-examine and codify his sculptures, and allows the viewer an insight into his creative process.
