Similarly, curator Gordon Fuglie's exhibition Representing L.A.: Pictorial Currents in Southern California Art (2000) explored a revival of representation among the Southland's artists, specifically among painters.
The subtext to both Duncan's and Fuglie's observations is that, since the mid-1990's, there has been a resurgence of painting among young artists.Their efforts run counter to the perceived notion of the Southern California contemporary art scene being a hotbed for art that emphasizes conceptual strategies over process or experimentation with materials.This perception has been largely due to the influence due to the influence of local art schools and university departments.However, in a relatively short time, the Duncan's and Fuglie's once challenging commentaries have come into tune with today's pluralism.
