Featured Events in Los Angeles in May, 2025 (May Updated)

Luis De Jesus Los Angeles presents Robert Kushner: Dahlias—Fields of Steadfastness, the artist’s second exhibition with the gallery. I have known Robert Kushner for three decades, a serendipitous blessing that I chalk up to our mutual commitment to art and meditation. I’m equally pleased to share this personal note from him, below. This small window into his life and work captures the essence of who he is as a person and an artist: generous and kind, with a sharp, inquisitive mind and exquisite vision—but perhaps even more, a sagacious spirit and sense of self. This new series of paintings pays tribute to one of his favorite flowers, the dahlia—symbol of beauty, eternal love, resilience and inner strength—and marks a unique moment in his long and distinguished career. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. - Luis De Jesus

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.

Luis De Jesus Los Angeles presents Laura Karetzky: Liar, Liar, the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Laura Karetzky's artistic approach involves challenging traditional narrative structures. She achieves this by merging multiple moments into a unified, believable instance, which alters the viewer's understanding of time and perspective. Her works evoke the feeling of simultaneously experiencing multiple narratives, rather than being confined to a single, linear story.
