Los Angeles, CA — CMAY Gallery is pleased to announce ESCAPE, an exhibition bringing together over 40 contemporary artists whose works engage three enduring artistic themes: landscape, seascape, and cityscape.

To escape suggests release, movement, and the possibility of entering another condition of being. In art, escape does not necessarily mean flight from the world. More often, it offers an invitation to enter another way of seeing it.

The idea of escaping one’s own reality into the realm of the artist is a powerful and longstanding part of artistic practice. For thousands of years, artists have depicted the landscape as a way to transport viewers beyond the immediate facts of daily life. Over time, this impulse expanded into related traditions of seascape and cityscape. Each of these genres has changed dramatically in style, subject, and intention, yet all have consistently offered viewers a passage into another realm of perception.

FIGURATIVELY SPEAK - REVIEW ARTNOWLA by Tom Teicholz

ON VIEW AT CMAY GALLERY UNTIL THIS SATURDAY, JULY 11, 2026

Figuratively Speaking is an exhibition by Jody Zellen featuring pieces from an ongoing body of work: All tooHuman. On view are small monitors each showing a different set of short animations, lenticular images, one-inch HolaCubes displaying animated GIFs, and an interactive sculpture. Figuratively Speaking refers to the aim to go beyond literal meaning focusing on creative and symbolic expression.

In this exhibition, Zellen explores the animated movements of silhouetted figures — a combination of simple shapes — a circle, an oval and three rectangles. The silhouettes amble within the frame, changing colors, encountering other figures, moving through cityscapes, falling through holes, and morphing into multiple iterations, only to disappear and begin all over again, caught in an infinite loop. Zellen’s anonymous figures enact scenarios that are metaphors for lived experiences and convey emotions that sign for us all.

Los Angeles, CA — CMAY Gallery is pleased to present an artist talk with Alex Parrasch, moderated by educator and art critic David Pagel. The conversation will focus on Parrasch’s solo exhibition Immaculate Tensions; We’re All Going Up!, as well as his artwork in general.

Pagel is a prominent American art critic, educator, and curator based in Southern California. He is best known for his regular contemporary art reviews in the Los Angeles Times and for his extensive academic work. Pagel earned a Bachelor of Arts in Modern Thought and Literature from Stanford University and a Master’s degree in Art History from Harvard University.

Alex Parrasch is a visual artist whose paintings and drawings investigate the fragility, resilience, and physical presence of the human body. His work reflects on the tension and release embedded within anatomical structures—ligaments, joints, muscles, and skeletal forms—while transforming these physical references into dynamic, highly stylized visual compositions. Through a language of abstraction rooted in corporeal experience, Parrasch explores the relationships between movement, balance, compression, and expansion.
