Nadia Yaron turns her attention skyward — to the crepuscular rays that break through cloud cover in fan-like shafts, colloquially known as God rays. It’s a subject that feels like a natural arrival in her practice: like a fallen leaf or a pink iris pushing through spring snow, which have long anchored her work, these are phenomena defined by their transience, and by their resistance to being held. What Yaron does, characteristically, is find a way to hold them anyway — translating the momentary into the carved and weighted permanence of stone, wood, and metal.

There is a particular kind of presence that announces itself without spectacle or urgency. John Zabawa has spent years in pursuit of it — in the movement of a deep pond distilled to its essential forms, in the ambient glow of a Californian hillside at dusk, in the intimate weight of a piece of fruit.

Artist Statement: Across cultures and centuries, the moon has drawn our gaze upward. The simplicity of its form, and the certainty with which it appears in the night sky, make it a powerful symbol of what exists beyond our earthly experience. Its cycle intrinsically links it to time, serving as one of humanity’s earliest pre-industrial calendars.

We’re delighted to introduce new drawings by British artist Sarah Kaye Rodden. Working primarily with traditional materials and historical techniques, Kaye Rodden is drawn to processes that connect her to centuries of artistic practice.

We are thrilled to announce our first open call exhibition for Los Angeles painters. We're inviting submissions across all mediums of painting, with two cash prizes to be awarded: The Francis Award ($15,000) for abstract painting and The Clara Award ($15,000) for figurative painting. Our judging panel will be announced in the coming weeks.

We’re thrilled to start the year with Rajan Bijlani, presenting historic pieces by Le Corbusier, and Pierre Jeanneret—made for the Indian city of Chandigarh between 1954 to 1966—at our LA gallery. These pieces accompany Will Calver’s still life paintings, and are on view until February 7th.

These paintings by Jean-Baptiste Besançon represent an ongoing exploration of intuitive mark-making and spontaneous composition. Departing from his usual palette, Besançon introduces lighter, softer tones that amplify the interplay between shapes, while alternating between translucent washes and heavily textured applications of paint. Working without preconception, he allows each piece to evolve through a reciprocal exchange — the painting gradually returns something to him that exists beyond language, signalling its completion. This dialogue between artist and work extends outward to the viewer, who encounters an immersive experience of color and depth, drawn into their vastness and moved by the emotional resonance of their palette.
