As a Rooted Spectre at Royale Projects is Jonathan Syme’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, exploring energy and continuity within layered abstract compositions. Syme’s works are marked by dense pigment, undulating textures, and intersecting colors, balancing precision with spontaneity. His hand-built, painted frames serve as sculptural extensions of the canvases. Influenced by Kandinsky and de Kooning, Syme’s work reflects cosmic interconnectedness, capturing both microscopic and vast natural forces.
