Bio:

Gordon Magnin is a Los Angeles-based artist who works in collage and altered found image. Magnin’s interest lies in the inventive use of geometry, pattern, repetition, form, perspective, and systematic operations as methods to distort and subvert the intended objective, interpretation, and significance of consumer based images. Gordon has shown both locally and internationally including a residency and exhibition in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. He recently closed his first solo exhibition titled ~~10:10~~ at gallery 825 in Los Angeles. Gordon Holds a Masters Degree from the Southern California institute of architecture (SCI_arc) and a bachelors of science in structural engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno and completed studies at Mountain School of Arts in Chinatown in 2008.
