Craig Krull Gallery is pleased to present Queer for 50 Years. Opening on October 11, National Coming Out Day, this exhibition marks the fiftieth anniversary of Phranc coming out. For this body of work, Phranc sculpted boxing shorts, boxers, and socks out of cardboard, kraft paper, and thread, then painted the surfaces with vivid colors and stripes. As a self-described multi-disciplinary “queer artist, Jewish butch lesbian folksinger and cardboard cobbler” Phranc has devoted her life to uprooting patriarchal norms and celebrating uncensored self-expression through various creative endeavors. Showcasing the importance of clothes and undergarments to gender expression, Queer for 50 years is a continuation of Phranc’s ongoing exploration of her own queer identity as she airs out her paper laundry.
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 11, 4–6pm
Artist Talk: Saturday, November 22, 11am
For her sixteenth solo show at Craig Krull Gallery, Astrid Preston is presenting a body of work rooted in the philosophy of perception and experimentation with abstracting the familiar. With a deep sensitivity towards landscape, Preston deconstructs the foundations of these scenes, dissecting memories, bridging the past and present, and revealing the interconnections of our universe.
Reception: Saturday, October 11, 4–6pm
We are excited to present Route, a collection of work by Michon Weeks. Inspired by the walks the artist takes in her hometown of Northfield, Minnesota, she depicts the natural and built landscape as a space of constant transformation and fluctuation, a dynamic scene. With the ability to find the form as she works, her paintings hold a sense of wonder as the color-blocked planes are fitted together to assemble the scene. Shapes forming trees, gates, bridges, buildings, and other objects are situated within abstracted dreamscapes of ambiguous structures. With her thoughtful and painterly approach to markmaking, Weeks’ walks through her hometowns are mirrored on the linen canvases as her paintbrush wanders across the surface. Holding space for the seemingly ordinary, the works on view in Route venerate the beauty of the every day.
bG Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based painter Gay Summer Rick, Stratus, on view from September 25 through October 26, 2025. The exhibition will feature a new body of atmospheric paintings that reflect on shifting environments, layered emotions, and the beauty found within moments of uncertainty.
STRATUS takes its title from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) definition of “Stratus” clouds: broad, layered, diffuse forms that blanket the sky with soft cover. Each painting carries this sense of enveloping presence—an embrace of light, fog, and color that reveals the resilience and wonder embedded in Southern California’s shifting skies.
Rick’s work invites viewers to pause, breathe, and embrace the subtle transformations in the air around us. In her words, “There’s a chance of fog and clouds today, and it’s gorgeous.”
Gay Summer Rick biography:
Gay Summer Rick creates atmospheric scenes that reveal an unexpected beauty in commonplace elements within the urban coastal landscape. Sparsely populated, leaning toward abstraction, her paintings capture the energy and movement of the observable world, describing the quiet vibration of life where the city meets the sea. Guided by a deep commitment to sustainability, Rick employs innovative techniques to minimize her environmental impact. She applies pure oil paint using only palette knives and treats the paint architectonically, layering, carving, and accumulating it, but never discarding. In this way, she completely avoids toxic solvents and prevents material waste.
Originally from New York, Gay Summer Rick received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, and a Master’s degree from the University of Puget Sound. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the US, Europe, and Japan. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, California Art Club, and Malibu Art Association. Her paintings have been featured in American Art Collector Magazine, HYPERALLERGIC, Huffington Post, ARTNOWLA, Artillery Magazine, Chronicle Luxembourg, Malibu Magazine, Malibu Times, and others, and in several books and exhibition catalogs. She is a Center for Creative Innovation grant recipient, a Getty grant recipient, and a Kipaipai Fellow. Rick’s art and practice are the subject of short documentary films including “Iconic LA and the Urban Coast”, and “Follow the Sun” sponsored by a grant from the Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, California. Her paintings are in corporate and private collections around the world.
A resident of Malibu for over 25 years, Rick normally maintains studios in Inglewood and Malibu. The Palisades Fire, which devastated a large swath of Malibu in January 2025 rendered her Malibu studio and home unusable. From this experience a new body of work emerged from her Inglewood studio that celebrates resilience in the face of uncertainty, embraces moments of joy, and describes an inexorable beauty that is life in Malibu.
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 25, 8–10 pm
When the Veil is Thin brings together five artists whose works explore the liminal, the hidden, and the unseen. Through moonlit self-portraits, spectral memories, domestic mythologies, and fractured identities, Siri Kaur, Charlotte Mano, Anja Niemi, Quentin Shih and Vee Speers evoke the threshold between worlds where perception wavers and the unseen begins to stir.
Join us for a conversation between Shana Nys Dambrot and Gay Summer Rick, discussing her solo exhibition Stratus on view through October 26. The exhibition features a new body of atmospheric paintings that reflect on shifting environments, layered emotions, and the beauty found within moments of uncertainty.

Opening Reception: Saturday, July 12, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Veiled Terrain is an exhibition of Charlotte Schmid Maybach’s photographs, transformed from realistic landscapes to dreamy, melancholy assemblage, using unexpected materials.
Galerie XII is thrilled to present Palazzo Dreams, a solo exhibition from acclaimed Italian artist Patrizia Mussa.
Known for her distinctive technique of enhancing photographs with hand-applied pastel, Mussa explores the theatrical essence of Italian architecture. Yet, what Mussa offers is far more than descriptive photographs of Italy’s opulent theatrical heritage: she reinterprets theaters as organic architectural forms, gradually consumed and transformed by time. The theater then becomes a temple, a shining and golden cave in which silence, light, color, and emblems of the past promise stories yet to be told.
Please join us for a day of special events in celebration of the exhibition’s opening on Saturday, July 12, from 11am-7pm.

A multimedia, LA-based artist working across sculpture, painting, installation, and graphic design, Monk looks to nearby objects, the landscapes around her, and natural motifs.

Artist talk: July 12, 11am
Craig Krull Gallery is pleased to present Jerry McMillan’s key explorations into photosculpture in the 1960s and 70s. Questioning whether the materiality of a photograph was limited to paper, McMillan folded photographs into boxes, made photo-etched metal sculptures, and even mounted photos inside paper bags, tearing holes in the sides to expose the interior images. At a time when the art world was highly skeptical of photography, McMillan literally forced new ways of looking at images.
Opening reception: June 28, 4-6pm
Artist talk: July 12, 11am

William Turner Gallery is pleased to present True Romance, a solo exhibition by Greg Miller. Celebrated for his visually arresting and conceptually layered collages, Greg Miller continues his decades-long excavation of American mass media, memory, and myth-making. In this newest body of work, True Romance, Miller revisits the imagery that has long defined his practice—pulp fiction, billboard advertisements, vintage comics, magazine spreads, and Hollywood’s golden illusions—reassembling these cultural fragments into densely layered vignettes that are both nostalgic and interrogative.
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 21, 5:00PM - 8:00PM
William Turner Gallery is pleased to announce Utopalypse, a solo exhibition of new works by Jennifer Wolf. Utopalypse merges two seemingly opposing forces: utopia, the ideal or perfect place, and apocalypse, a moment of revelation often associated with collapse or ending. This fusion forms the conceptual core of Jennifer Wolf’s new exhibition, where the aspiration for beauty, harmony, and renewal exists alongside a deep awareness of fragility, decay, and transformation.
Chloe Sherman’s photographs from her renowned series RENEGADES San Francisco: the 1990s give us an unparalleled look into San Francisco history as a queer cultural renaissance unfolded.

Lois Lambert Gallery presents Enchantment, the most recent exhibition of work by artist Hillary Gruenberg.
Gruenberg’s work is characterized by a unique assemblage of tactile materials, including paper, leather, fabric, paint, gold leaf, silver leaf, and sewing. Relinquishing control over the outcome is vital to Gruenberg’s process. She holds no formal expectations when creating each piece, choosing solely to focus on finding beauty and enchantment in the unexpected.
Hillary will be donating her proceeds to the ASPCA and the Red Cross.
Lois Lambert Gallery presents Realm of Wonder, the most recent exhibition of work by artist Allen Harrison.
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 15th, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Harrison’s artistic journey is marked by his continued infatuation with skyscapes. In this exhibition, he follows his inspiration into the world of Thangka, an ancient form of Tibetan art depicting a Buddhist deity. Harrison’s fascination with the Tibetan Thangka tradition is rooted in its aesthetic qualities rather than its religious or cultural significance. He begins by tracing these images onto acetate, then meticulously cuts and collages these elements onto his canvas to completely cover the surface. Once Harrison starts painting, the figures are obscured within his compositions, though he is careful to never completely lose the Thangka imagery. Harrison works on each of his paintings for at least five months. Every day, he works and reworks the canvas until he is sure he has taken the painting far enough to capture the image in his mind.
Lois Lambert Gallery presents Once in a Blue Moon, the most recent exhibition of work by artist Daveed Shwartz.
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 15th, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Artist Talk: Saturday, April 26th at 1:30 PM
Shwartz’s compositions are often strange and humorous representations of the fragility of existence. Once in a Blue Moon features both somber, contemplative landscapes and vibrant, whimsical collages populated by a cast of figures that blur the line between human, animal, and machine. Shwartz’s work is equal parts introspective and irreverent, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences of instability and connection in the modern world. “My work is about the fragility of life. There is no solid ground. This is a high wire act, and we can fall, or choose to fly, at any moment. My work embraces the beauty and vulnerability of the human condition.”
Lois Lambert Gallery presents Look Again, the most recent exhibition of work by artist Kevork Cholakian.
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 15th, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Cholakian’s work serves as an exploration of realism using ceramics as his medium. Utilizing a combination of slip casting and hand-building techniques, Cholakian translates everyday objects into hyper-realistic ceramic sculptures. He uses ceramic decals, resin, and hand-painted glazes in each piece to give the object more detail. While Cholakian is not the first artist to work with three-dimensional trompe-l’oeil, his sculptures are individual in the way each scene is grounded in the impermanence of daily life. He focuses on capturing fleeting instances where someone has left these items behind, leaving a trace of themselves as well. “The intent is to provoke curiosity and a closer look at the seemingly mundane.”
Peter Fetterman Gallery is proud to present "The World of Sebastião Salgado," a large-scale exhibition of prints by the master photographer Sebastião Salgado (Brazil, b. 1944). Opening on Saturday, March 15, 2025, and running through June 21st, this exhibition will offer an extraordinary retrospective of Salgado’s unparalleled career.
Von Lintel Gallery is proud to present "The More You Look, The More You See," a group exhibition featuring artworks that invite viewers to rediscover the art of looking, addressing the diminishing attention spans of the digital age.
In an era where social media and internet content bombards us with fleeting images, we hope visitors will leave with a renewed appreciation for the depth and complexity that can be found in visual art. The exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists whose works reveal hidden depths and nuances upon prolonged viewing, encouraging audiences to engage more deeply.
Slow down, look closely, and discover the rewards.
