Morán Morán presents PLAY, a group exhibition featuring works by artists including John Baldessari and Robert Mapplethorpe. The show considers play as both escape and resistance—a way to cope, rebel, and connect. Through humor, interaction, and performance, these works invite reflection on how play helps us process reality, challenge norms, and stay resilient. It’s not retreat, but an active tool for navigating and reshaping contemporary experience.

Adam Alessi

Adam Alessi

Adam Alessi (b. 1994, Camarillo, California) is a Los Angeles–based painter whose self‑taught practice channels a surreal, unsettling vision of the human figure.  Working in oil on linen, he stages characters that hover between folk‑tale masks, horror film stills and the uncanny corridors of childhood memory.  His early works were executed rapidly—“I was making a painting in a day,” he has said—while recent canvases take weeks, even months, exploring a “stream of consciousness” aesthetic.
