LOS ANGELES Zachary Royer Scholz Specific Objects David Salow Gallery 977 N. Hill Street, Los Angeles (213) 620-0240 www.davidsalowgallery.com Minimalism and more from Scholz Like fellow Bay Area artist Mitzi Pederson, Zachary Royer Scholz uses everyday materials such as plywood, Plexiglas and tape to create lyrical, abstract sculptures that are charming in their simplicity and redolent of art history, particularly Minimalism. In his show at David Salow, a piece of mirrored Plexiglas bent into an arc and held in place with three perfectly spaced strands of masking tape feels like a low-rent Dan Graham, and a narrow rectangle of plywood, painted neon green on one side, casts a faint glow leaning against a wall, suggesting an unplugged Dan Flavin.http://www.davidsalowgallery.comshapeimage_1_link_0
