In Culver City…
Edward Cella Art & Architecture is pleased to present Driving Sunset, the gallery’s first solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles-based painter Mara De Luca. An MFA graduate of CalArts, De Luca explores the conceptual and expressive potential of process-driven abstract painting.
Her works are informed by her study and re-appropriation of art historical conventions, her visual interpretation of literary sources, and the recurring visual tropes of contemporary high-end fashion advertising. Inspired by Los Angeles’ stark contrasts, a place where beautiful natural landscapes coexist alongside endless freeways and countless billboards, De Luca reveals a depth in the superficiality of surface, and an emotive complexity in formal concision.
The exhibition title, Driving Sunset, is a direct reference to Joan Didion’s novel Play it as it Lays, in which its protagonist, Maria, compulsively drives the freeways of Southern California in search of meditative psychological respite.

Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is pleased to announce our first exhibition with Berlin-based painter, Armin Boehm. Using a haptic formal language that combines abstraction with figuration and collage with painting, Boehm creates richly layered portrait and still life paintings.
Boehm’s group portraits are grounded by the conscious placement of specific landmarks like the Fernsehturm and the Park Inn at Alexanderplatz, the center of social activity for contemporary Berlin’s bohemian culture. Other paintings present domestic scenes or still lifes of vibrant flowers paired with books on art, design, or spirituality.
Also opening is “Tripping the Light Fantastick,” which is the fourth solo exhibition with Los Angeles artist, Ruben Ochoa. Over the last decade Ochoa has built a career exploring the possibilities of everyday materials, using concrete, steel, and the actual floors and foundations of gallery spaces to produce works that upset the viewer’s experience of the built environment.

haphazard is pleased to present “tidal,” a solo exhibition of new work by Megan Johnson.
In th

Not limited to bodies of water, tides exist in all things natural and internal. They rise and fall, push and pull, erase and reshape. They manifest the currents through which time moves. The work that comprises tidal is a record of that movement, locating the vitality within upheaval.

Gabba Gallery proudly presents “Layers,” four simultaneous solo exhibitions featuring artists Essi Zimm, Tōshee, Nicholas Bonamy, and Joey Feldman – come celebrate with an opening reception from 7-11pm. DJ Jonathan Williams spinning those fresh tunes and sponsored by Perrier.
Essi Z
imm’s artwork delves into fairy tales and indigenous legends with mixed media layers of paper, pencil, ink, paint and more. The characters and meanings of these colorful stories are evoked through guttural marks as the viewer explores Zimm’s visual translations.
The work of Nicholas Bonamy reflects the many layers of contemporary life happening all at once. Actions, thoughts, and dreams are revealed differently from every distance as the viewer’s focus drifts from one perspective to another in an experience akin to daydreaming while driving.
Influenced by his graphic design background, Tōshee employs bold, vibrant elements to arrest the viewer’s gaze. His technique incorporates both additive and subtractive processes with paint, pencil, ink, epoxy, and stencils that come together to produce images reminiscent of Eastern art.
Fun is what you feel when viewing the characters exposed in the exuberant artworks of Joey Feldman. His colorful use of mixed media and gestural marks, lines, and layers ultimately add up to an energetic portrait of the eccentricities revealed in a character.
