Artist Talk: Sunday, November 23, 2025, 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
California Art League in partnership with bG Gallery is proud to present “A Closer Look,” an exhibition that explores the potency of detail, abstraction, and emotional resonance. This show invites artists to zoom in—literally or metaphorically—on those fragments, lines, surfaces, and moments that carry emotional weight. Whether it’s the subtle crack in stone that signals unease, the tension in a nape, or the arc of a racetrack whispering fury, this exhibition asks: What happens when we strip away the noise and see the essence?
Artists working in any medium — painting, metal, ceramic, glass, installation, photography, mixed media, and beyond — Work that expresses inner motivations: joy, grief, anger, longing, contemplation. The focus is not on grand narratives or scene, but distilled, dynamic fragments of experience.
The Gallery will also feature an exhibit of gallery artists under the theme Closer in the Paragon section.
bG Gallery announces a special limited time solo exhibition by the contemporary artist Olympio. From November 7th to 9th, the exhibition will showcase Olympio's latest body of work for a short time opportunity to see and acquire works before the artist begins his yearly exhibition circuit.
Olympio creates abstract and figurative compositions that reflect his internal rhythms, resulting in bold, expressive paintings. Working intuitively, the artist defines his work as the expression of his energy. Each piece is both everything and nothing; as simple as a heartbeat, as complex as a hurricane. Born in Lomé, Togo, the self-taught West-African artist spent time in Paris before moving to the United States. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Olympio is one of sixty people from across the world selected to be exhibited in "Out of the Fire," the 14th edition of the Dakar Biennale, one of Africa's oldest and largest exhibitions of contemporary art in Dakar, Senegal.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 11, 4–6pm
Artist Talk: Saturday, November 22, 11am
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, 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.

Opening reception: June 28, 4-6pm
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

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. In today’s political climate, where LGBTQ+ rights are increasingly under attack across the United States, Sherman’s photography is more relevant than ever.

Gruenberg’s work is characterized by a unique assemblage of tactile materials, including paper, leather, fabric, paint, gold leaf, silver leaf, and sewing.

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.
