Carpenters Workshop Gallery Los Angeles presents an exhibition celebrating the prolific career of the late architect, sculptor and designer José Zanine Caldas, whose sculptural style and commitment to ecological awareness made him a leading figure in Brazilian modernism. Raw and sensual in character, the works combine modern elegance with an environmental consciousness that was avant-garde for this radical creator’s time.

Matthew Marks is pleased to announce Xinyi Cheng: Sing to It, the next exhibition in his gallery at 1062 North Orange Grove in Los Angeles. The exhibition includes twelve new paintings and is the artist’s first one-person show in Los Angeles.

Charles Gaines, an 80-year-old artist and educator from Los Angeles, is widely acclaimed for his contributions to the development of conceptual art and the formation of the Los Angeles art scene. This exhibition, the artist's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles since 2019, will present a series of new acrylics and watercolors as an elaboration of his iconic series "Numbers and Trees". Trees have been central to Gaines's work since the mid-1970s. He first painted trees through a numbered grid system in the "Walnut Orchard" series. This methodological experimentation continued in the "Numbers and Trees" series, which began in 1987, hinting at the arbitrariness of other manufactured systems in our society - such as politics, gender, race and class.

Xiao Jiang's oil paintings are mostly based on his daily life scenes - mainly landscapes and interior landscapes - and unfold the narrative through the silent language of colors and shapes. In the exhibition "By the Window", the artist continues his consistent method of transcending time and depicting eternal landscapes, while adding attention to the fleeting moment - the light and shadow of the moment flash by, but are captured by the picture.

Louis Stern Fine Arts presents Gabriele Evertz: Colors Make Light, the Brooklyn-based artist’s first solo presentation with the gallery.Born and raised near Berlin, Germany, Evertz (b. 1945) identifies as a color painter, and wields her extensive historical and theoretical knowledge of the subject in pursuit of sensorially joyous outcomes. Despite a precise and disciplined methodology, which fuses the scientific order of the color wheel with the exacting geometry of angle and line, her paintings are not dispassionate in intent or effect but are instead deeply concerned with emotional response. The relationship between the painter and her canvas, and in turn between the painting and the viewer, is a private exploratory experience focused around the pleasures of being a living, sensing creature.
