Second Look: Hollywood Rediscoveries

Nick Angelo's large-scale works on vinyl map psycho-geographic relationships to Los Angeles, linking urban decay, harm reduction, cinema, and conspiracy through compulsive image-association. Printed at 24-hour print centers and installed like construction fencing, the pieces chart Angelo's own history in the city alongside its neighborhoods, films, and hidden histories.

Slow Burn is a solo exhibition of new oil paintings and plein air studies by Los Angeles-based artist Kevin Yaun, presented at Megan Mulrooney. The works depict expansive landscapes interrupted by hard-edged architectural fragments, windows, screens, and thresholds that blur the boundary between interior and exterior. The exhibition includes the Inside Outside series and works in dialogue with Maxfield Parrish's idealized, Romantic light, exploring themes of home, restlessness, and the sublime within the ordinary infrastructure of Southern California. This is Yaun's first solo exhibition with the gallery.

Mel Odom belongs to a generation of gay men who experienced the halcyon decade of post-Stonewall, pre-AIDS New York—and the devastation that followed. Dreams for Sale is his Los Angeles debut, presenting never-before-seen drawings and paintings spanning the mid-1970s through the present. Working in graphite, watercolor, and oil, Odom embraces fragility, romance, and artifice as anchors of emotional truth, a tenderly distinct contribution to queer image-making.

Roger Herman has lived in Los Angeles since 1977, and the California landscape—its poppies, its mountains—runs through everything he makes. California Poppies at Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents large-scale canvases alongside ceramic vessels and tables, all defined by the same gestural, unpredictable expressiveness. Herman treats clay as he treats canvas: with spontaneity, vivid color, and a celebration of imperfection that has made him a defining figure in California art.

Quiet Rules brings together twelve abstract painters who use systems, patterns, and formal constraints as starting points for expressive exploration. Through grids, repetition, color sequences, and material processes, the artists balance structure with intuition, allowing each painting to evolve through subtle shifts and unexpected decisions. Rather than rigidly following rules, these works reveal how discipline and spontaneity together can produce rich, emotionally resonant abstraction.

Omari Douglin's Fantasy in Japan runs June 25 through August 8, 2026 at Matthew Brown, Los Angeles. Inspired by the artist's first trip to Japan, the show blurs the boundary between the real and the imagined through oil paintings of Japanese figures grounded in silhouette, rendered in a palette of red, black, blue, brown, and white, alongside his first works on paper and a show within a show featuring over thirty invited artists.
