 “When I’m falling, I’m doing alright. And when I’m slipping, I say, ‘Hey, this is very

 interesting.’… That is a wonderful sensation … to slip into this glimpse.”

 –Willem de Kooning to David Sylvester, 1960

 Wönzimer is pleased to present Slipping Glimpser , an exhibition of five painters working in Los Angeles, connected through a shared commitment to process, improvisation, and dialogue. Through a series of informal studio visits over the past two years, these artists exchanged ideas, shared works in progress, and explored the slipperiness of looking, making, and understanding.

 It began when Iva texted Pat and Munro for a studio visit. They went to her studio on North Spring Street, near the LA River, where Cameron was already waiting. Aaron showed up a little later. Together they moved the giant paintings around, shifting them to see from different angles.They talked about habitats, craters, tornadoes, ghostly transparencies, and dotted lines. Iva gave everyone a drawing, and afterward they went to the bar.

 The next time they gathered was at Aaron’s studio. Dapples, his Great Dane, greeted them at thedoor before sprawling in the middle of the room. Aaron’s paintings of cats, birds, sardines, and sandwiches covered the walls. They sat on the floor leafing through drawings, and talked about grids, repetition, and containment.

 At Cameron’s studio her unstretched paintings were piled on the floor like rugs. The canvases were massive, spilling loosely from the walls onto the ground. In the middle of the space was a large cocoon-like mass of colorful plastic painting detritus. Cameron was trying to make it stand on its own. They talked about hides, moths, leaves, midlines, and dancing. 

In Pat’s studio, they looked at oil paintings on panels, made through blotting and wiping. The paintings evoked soot, fog, shadows and sidewalks, and the color of pollution. They talked about mixing color, and how certain combinations evoked a mood. Towards the end, Pat pulled out his collages, with titles, like Eye-eye-foam and Fidelity Futures .

 When they visited Munro’s studio, the walls were covered with hundreds of black ink drawings on newsprint, alongside large oil paintings. Small hand-painted wooden sculptures sat on shelves beneath the drawings. Aaron noticed one painting was upside down, so they turned it around. They looked at the paintings and saw masts, eyes, apertures, doorways and horizon lines. Then they went back to Munro’s house for soup.

Mother and Child: A Portal

Paintings, Drawings & Tapestries by Lucien Dante Lazar

Sculptural Works by Cybele Rowe, Patrick Nickell, Ann Weber, & Cheyann Washington

Opening Reception: 5-10pm Friday July 11th 2025

Exhibition Dates : July 11th - August 8th, 2025

Wonzimer Gallery, 341 S Avenue 17, Los Angeles 90031

 Wonzimer Gallery presents “Mother and Child: A Portal,” a new exhibition opening July 11th. Inspired by a meditation on Raphael’s Tempi Madonna, artist/curator Lucien Dante Lazar discovered the "portal" in the space between Mary and Jesus – an opening into humanity and divinity.

This exhibition explores the Mother and Child archetype as both tender human connection and exalted spiritual reality, inviting viewers to consider this timeless bond as an entry point into new ways of sensing and perceiving.

“Working with the Mother and Child opens the door to an expansive creative field,” says Lazar. “I’ve discovered an unfolding stream of imagery, understanding, and insight—into myself and into the wider scope of reality.”

“Mother and Child: A Portal” features new paintings, drawings and tapestries by Lucien Dante Lazar, guiding the exhibition’s vision. These are complemented by distinct sculptural works from each of the other distinguished artists: Cybele Rowe, Patrick Nickell, Ann Weber, and Cheyann Washington. Each artist brings their unique material and aesthetic approach to the theme, creating a rich dialogue that deepens the exhibition’s exploration of this enduring relationship.

This exhibition aims to reveal the Mother and Child archetype as a gateway for our times, offering the possibility of reimagining culture itself.

"Mother Memory" is a group art exhibit organized by contributing artist Toti O’Brien. The exhibit explores both memories of mothers, mothering, and motherhood, as well as the idea of memory (our human faculty to recall, revive, and reinvent what is no longer accessible to the senses) as a matrix.


In what ways does memory mother us? To what extent does it create us, shaping who we are and what we do? Does it nurture us? Protect us? Can it heal us? Can it instruct and guide us? "Mother Memory" features work by nine Los Angeles-based artists, each bringing their unique perspective to the chosen theme through a variety of artworks. These pieces expand the core concept, introducing echoes of legacy, ancestry, motherland, mother tongue, and — last but certainly not least — the present and future of our wounded Mother Earth.


The exhibition is complemented by a poetry-and-performance event that will take place at Wonzimer Gallery on Friday, August 22nd, from 7pm-9pm. The event will showcase a performance ("Sound Shadows") by artists Cindy Rinne and Katia Hage, a video performance by artist Anita Getzler, and a combination of live and remote readings by seven poets.

Signed copies will be available for $20.

About this book: “Brewer does not record his studio visits. He simply listens intently and processes information in real time to gain a deeper form of empathy, a mode of momentarily inhabiting the palace of the artist’s mind and looking at their work through their own eyes… Truly seeing a work of art is recognizing the artist for exactly who they are. This is the poet’s approach to reading a work of art: seeking out the poetry in others.” Janelle Zara, an excerpt from her forward to the book, Eloquent Eye.

Everything is Radiant 

Gary Brewer Solo Exhibition

Wonzimer Gallery 341 S Avenue 17 Los Angeles, CA

Opening Reception: Friday, April 25th, 2025 | 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM 

Exhibition Dates: April 25th - May 16th, 2025

Wonzimer Gallery is delighted to present "Everything is Radiant," a solo exhibition of new paintings and sculptures by Gary Brewer.

Life is an incomprehensible mystery. The forces that have shaped the infinite variations of living things are vast, and our understanding of what we see as reality is a mercurial slipstream of shape-shifting phenomena. Brewer's paintings and sculptures express his deep love of life and a desire to engage in articulating a spectrum of forms that reveal a glimmer of the metaphysical order in life's rich pageant.

Inherent in each of the life forms in Brewer's paintings or in the abstract biomorphic shapes of his ceramic sculptures, there is a quality that conveys the tenacity and complexity of this animate universe. Orchids, corals, gold formations, and lichens are a part of the lexicon of images that he uses in his paintings. In each of these subjects, we see something that instantly engages our mind, bodies, and imagination. The animated character of these shapes has intrigued Brewer for years. They express in their elemental designs, a life force that begets the complex unfolding of our world, adapting and metamorphosing to flourish in an ever-changing environment.

Brewer's ceramic sculptures are polymorphic; they suggest sea life, the body, and erotic orifices. The rich overlay of glazes excites the mind and suggests lichens, mosses, encrustations from the sea, dried salt flats, and myriad other phenomena. The sculptures are created without a design in mind. They unfold in an intuitive process; the sensual experience of feeling and shaping form through his hands guides him; Brewer creates his sculptures more through touch than sight.

Brewer feels as though the colorful and dynamic glazes in this body of works are a form of 3-dimensional painting. These ceramic sculptures are a recent and fascinating new development in his life as an artist; they are a reflection of the subject matter in his paintings transformed into a new physical expression.

Windswept, opening March 21st in Los Angeles, is an immersive group exhibition featuring over 15 painted works from throughout international artist Susan Ossman’s career in conjunction with sculptural, photographic, collage, video, and installation works by artists including Dani Dodge, Angelica Sotiriou, Beth Elliott, Linda Sue Price, Snezana Saraswati Petrovic, Diane Cockerill, Bruce Cockerill, Scott Meskill, Eileen Oda, Jason Jenn, Nancy Kay Turner, and Nancy Voegeli-Curan.

The exhibition explores each artist’s own unique vision of wind, from lush oil and acrylic to potent abstract neon art and otherworldly mixed media. While you can’t see the wind, you can envision what it creates: sand and soil, propagated flowers and seeds, the sails of ships, ocean currents, kites soaring aloft, magical balloons, tossing tumbleweeds, birds drifting on warm ocean currents, the ominous wreckage of storms both natural and societal, or the ungovernable spread of fire and ash.

Wind has always played an enormous role in both the world’s ecology and in the lives of humans.

Wind is a mood and a feeling, a part of our culture, our literature, and our desire for change. In the novella Red Wind, noir writer Raymond Chandler describes the wind in Los Angeles as “…one of those hot dry Santa Ana’s that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch.”  Kahlil Gibran writes in The Prophet, “The breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind.” South African philosopher Mokokoma Mokhonoana says, “To most human beings, wind is an irritation. To most trees, wind is a song.” And of course, we all know that when we question our situation in life, as Bob Dylan sings, “The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.”

 The works in this exhibition are all about the pull of wind, encompassing images that traverse the seasons. Conceived as a group exhibition, while not conventionally collaborative, the artwork swirls together in a wide range of mediums, examining how this natural phenomenon and its symbolism affects all aspects of life on this planet.

 Pierre Teilhard de Chardin says, “Matter is spirit moving slowly.” But in the matter of wind, it is spirit moving rapidly, coursing through the world, the mind, the heart, and art.

 - Genie Davis, curator

Transience to the Infinite brings together a diverse group of ten artists whose works offer unique perspectives on the ephemeral nature of existence and the boundless possibilities of the universe.

In “God, Science, Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution”, Olivier Bonnassies, alongside Michel-Yves Bolloré, posits that contemporary scientific research inexorably points to the existence of a Creator God—an assertion that may seem provocative in the realm of empirical inquiry. The authors intertwine cosmology, physics, history, and theology in an ambitious attempt to bridge the oft- assumed divide between faith and reason. The premise is bold: "With the discovery of thermodynamics," they argue, "we learn that the universe is wearing down, heading toward thermal death. If the universe had a beginning... then there must be a God."

This concept hinges on three core scientific principles: first, the recognition that the universe is inextricably composed of time, space, and matter; second, the certainty that it had an absolute beginning; and third, that its fine-tuned laws seem almost tailored to allow for the emergence of complex life. With such findings, the authors claim that science itself defines what ancient philosophies and religions have long identified as God—a transcendent, external force that crafted the universe, ultimately allowing for human existence.

Yet, despite these weighty claims, the exhibition tied to this discourse does not seek to validate or refute the existence of such a divine entity. Rather, it aims to explore the nuanced intersection between human experience, daily struggles, and spiritual transcendence—where art becomes a means of navigating the liminal spaces between the physical and metaphysical.

The transcendental, often viewed as timeless and spaceless, resonates deeply with the core of artistic creation. Far from the strict boundaries of scientific inquiry, art ventures into those vast unknowns where metaphysics and human consciousness collide. This exhibition invites viewers to contemplate moments of "divine" revelation, not in the religious sense, but as profound instances in which the mind perceives beyond the material world, tapping into a realm that surpasses time and space.

In art, humanity seeks such revelations—a desire to transcend the mundane and ascend to a higher, perhaps mystical, plane. This echoes across cultural and religious contexts, in which the ultimate goal is to connect with what is often referred to as GOD. The role of art in this quest for spirituality is fundamental. As a visual medium, art provides the vehicle for meditative introspection, offering viewers a window into higher truths.

Saint Paul’s assertion in his Sermon at the Areopagus of Athens that “God created man so that he might seek Him” resonates here, as art becomes the catalyst for such a search—an intimate and often silent dialogue between the viewer and the ineffable.

But what of mysticism in the contemporary era? Is there still space for such contemplation in our material-obsessed world? Wassily Kandinsky provides a prophetic answer. He once remarked on the "tragic collision between matter and spirit" in his era, foreseeing the rupture of a purely materialistic worldview. Kandinsky's words, spoken over a century ago, describe a cultural crisis that feels remarkably familiar today—a time marked by uncertainty, disorientation, and spiritual yearning.

His own artistic journey shifted from representing the objective world to delving into the inner Klang (the “inner sound” or “inner need”), striving for a spirituality and transcendence that go beyond the mere physical representation of reality.In this sense, Kandinsky’s message is uncannily relevant to our current moment. As we grapple with a world increasingly dominated by superficial material concerns, the existential questions of theearly 20th century resurface. His call for spiritual awakening, through art, suggests that refuge in the spiritual or even in art itself is insufficient on its own. Rather, what is required is a fundamental transformation of our way of being, rooted in introspection and a relentless pursuit of justice—both personal and collective.

This transformation begins with an acknowledgment of our own smallness within the vast, intricate mechanism of the universe. If we could pause to truly grasp the magnitude of what lies “OUT THERE” beyond our limited world, perhaps only then would we see art and introspective thought as the fragile but powerful tools they are: means of reconnecting with a broader, more profound sense of existence.

The exhibition thus calls on us to reflect on this urgency for change. It urges a recalibration of our behaviors, anchored in the realization of our finitude and insignificance in the grand cosmic design. And yet, it also reminds us that, within this immense scope, we have the capacity for profound insight, expression, and—through art—a connection to the infinite.

Wonzimer is proud to present Sometimes A Wind Blows, a group exhibition exploring the diverse possibilities of textile art. The title of the show, taken from David Lynch’s Blue Velvet soundtrack, reflects the sweeping, ephemeral meditation of material on display.

Each artist showcases a wide range of techniques and media, from embroidery, weaving, painting, printing, and knitting to experimental manipulations of linen, velvet, or silk. Bringing together legacy artists with new generations of artists, this show explores the enduring appeal of textile art, as both tangibly luxurious and mysterious.

Installation, sculpture, and the inherent relationship to the surface of painting are all invoked in this exhibition. The disparate works coalesce into a shared sense of this romantic freedom offered by textiles: of the ethereal yet deeply felt whisper of wind that we interface with through fabric. An explicit sense of craft pushed into novel forms, emerges as a crucial concern in this diverse field.

From this expansive perspective, the works on display invite viewers to engage with the tactile nature of textiles, with shimmering significance in the contemporary zeitgeist. Exploring the environmental implications of material choices and through-lines of historical and cultural connection, Sometimes A Wind Blows offers a panoramic perspective on the world of textile art.

upon what it means to be a woman in our contemporary society, and to gain a deeper

understanding of how women’s identities shape their everyday lives. Through the lens of each

woman filmmaker, viewers are ushered into a visual world that critically examines feminist issues

such as: aging, disability, reproduction, ecofeminism, violence, politics, and self-determination.

Utilizing a range of filmic styles and media (including claymation and AI) and source material

(e.g., wildlife camera footage), each film offers viewers a profound meditation on what it means

to live life from the perspective(s) of human beings relegated to the politically-peripheral,

biosocial category, “woman.”

The exhibition title, “A Racket of Banshees,” references female spirits who, according to Gaelic

folklore, appear and begin screaming (or wailing) to herald an impending death. Art historically,

Kiki Smith explored the concept of the banshee in her 1991 work, Banshee Pearls, in which she

cast herself as a banshee in a series of 12 lithographs, surrounded by images of skulls, death

masks, and other beast-like forms. As in Smith’s Banshee Pearls, each film in “A Racket of

Banshees” may be viewed as a single banshee in celluloid form, who has come to us to declare

all manner of deaths: that of women’s reproductive rights; the pandemic of global femicides; the

death of our Mother Earth; and the ultimate demise of patriarchy.

The Association of Hysteric Curators is a Los Angeles-based feminist collective of artists and

curators founded in 2014. Their mission is to advance the lives and careers of feminist artists,

and to artistically explore alternative paradigms of gender and political protest through a non-

hierarchical organizational structure based in dialogue and exchange. While honoring the

historical lineage of feminist models, the AHC envisions “a future of human equality, knowing we

must interrogate the customs of today in order to enable conditions for change.”

“A Racket of Banshees” was curated by the Association of Hysteric Curators collective, under

the special organizational direction of member artists Margie Schnibbe, Snezana Petrovic, and

Mary Anna Pomonis. For more information about the Association of Hysteric Curators, please

The Universal and the Particular

Wonzimer Gallery 341-B S Avenue 17 Los Angeles 90031/ wonzimerinfo@gmail.com

Opening: 5-10 pm, Friday, November 1st, 2024

Dates of Show: November 1st - December 1st, 2024

Exhibiting Artists: David McDonald, Khang Nguyen, and Jennifer Sirey

The vision and philosophy of interconnectedness in the Flower Ornament Sutra serve as the basis for this exhibition. The central principle of this text is the fourfold Dharmadhatu (realm of reality).

Of the four aspects of the Dharmadhatu, the first two are the universal and the particular.  One can determine their meaning by referring to other terms used to describe them, such as the ultimate and phenomenal, absolute and relative, identity and difference, ontological and ontic, nondual and dual, one and many, etc.

This text does not consider the realization of the nonduality of Being to be the utmost and final objective.  This is due to the emphasis on integrating that realization into everyday activities—that is, into the particular, the second aspect of the Dharmadhatu.

That leads to the third aspect of the Dharmadhatu, the interconnection of the universal and the particular.  The nonduality of the universal can give rise to particular differences without itself becoming differentiated.  Conversely, the individual can find common ground in the universal without itself becoming common.  This suggests that these two dimensions are inseparable without being conflated.

The interconnectedness of particular beings constitutes the fourth aspect.  From this vantage point, phenomena can be understood as a field of congruous beings rather than adversarial ones.

The audience is invited to view the artwork of David McDonald, Khang Nguyen, and Jennifer Sirey through the prism of the fourfold Dharmadhatu.

ModA Curations Presents:

Hidden Narratives

ModA Curations’ second exhibition, curated by Sia Fang, speaks to the indescribable elements of human experience

October 22 – 26, 2024

341-B S Avenue 17, Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles, CA (September 10, 2024) – ModA Curations is pleased to announce its second exhibition of 2024, Hidden Narratives, hosted by Wonzimer Gallery and curated by Sia Fang, with production coordination by Irene Ashu of Studio93. This group exhibition explores untold stories from the lives of presenting artists, piecing together feelings of indescribable humanity and making sense of Identity through their transferences and inheritances. The seven contemporary artists exhibited in this show come from a myriad of backgrounds. Their work aims to speak not only to their own experiences, but also to shared, human sentiments, connecting artist and audience through time and place.

Anthropological theory believes “History” is narrow, while crucial narratives are hidden.Through this exhibition, ModA once again uses ethnographic inquiry to explore the ways in which stories told through contemporary art reveal the ways humanity is human. Hidden Narratives will be on view at Wonzimer Gallery in downtown Los Angeles from October 22 – October 26, 2024, with an opening reception on October 22nd from 6-9 pm (RSVP here).

Programming highlights include a workshop for press and institutional audiences on “The ModA Concept” on October 23rd and an Anthropology in Art workshop on October 24th. For more information, please visit moda-curations.com.

Hidden Narratives features the work of five main exhibiting contemporary artists: Quentin Fromont, Sheila Karbassian, Simon Kubik, Anna Ting Moller, and Antonio Vidal in the maingallery, and the works of John Wright ii and Puxuan Zhou as part of Untapped, the Collection.Throughout the exhibition, the relationships between heritage and self, myths and symbols, and intimacy and desire are explored through a variety of traditional and experimental mediums, such as acrylic and oil paintings, installations, and kombucha culture, in order to navigate the complexities of hidden personal narratives which transcend from the works.

Founded by George Fan in October 2023, ModA Curations is a sub-entity of Modern Anthropology (ModA) Studios. ModA Curations was created to serve as a cultural archive, building a library of resistance, reclamation, and representation for contemporary artists, and presenting bi-annual exhibitions in a pop-up format. The directorial team, composed of career anthropologists versed in contemporary art and curation, recognizes the growing need for diverse and nuanced representation, and champions artists as authors of their own experiences. Guided by a philosophy grounded in socio-cultural anthropology, artists are empowered to regain agency in the valuation of their work by emphasizing the importance of cultural relativity in the understanding of their art.

FILM SCREENING 'Rivers and Tides'

7:00 PM19:00

FILM SCREENING 'Rivers and Tides'

Film Screening Wonzimer

Doors: 7PM

Screening Starts: 7:30PM

Film End: 9PM

"Rivers and Tides", a documentary by Thomas Riedelsheijmer, follows the artist Andy Goldsworthy as he builds nests, arranges rocks and spins willows in a decades-long art practice. Released in 2001, it offers us the pleasure of spending time with Mr. Goldsworthy and his creative process. The film is quiet and inspiring.

As curator of "Echoes of Voynich" I think Goldsworthy's ventures into nature, creating patterns and codes with found materials, meshes perfectly with the theme of the exhibit and the artwork installed in the Wönzimer space. We look forward to sharing the film with you.

Marcie Begleiter

Artist and Curator of "Echoes of Voynich : Coded Systems in Contemporary Art"

"The film offers extraordinary beauty. We watch as he smashes stones to release their cyan content and uses that bright-red dye to make spectacular patterns in the currents and whirlpools of streams. We see a long rope of linked leaves, bright green, uncoil as it floats downstream. Before, we saw only the surface of the water, but now the movement of the leaves reveals its current and structure. What a happy man. Watching this movie is like daydreaming." Roger Ebert 4****

“This single, original Voynich manuscript encourages us to sit with the concept of truth

and to remember that there are ineluctable mysteries at the bottom of things whose

meanings we will never know.”

-Jo Livingstone, the New Yorker

Exhibiting Artists :

Marcie Begleiter, Timothy C. Ely, Julie Harrison, Christina McPhee, Blue McRight, Snezana Saraswati Petrovic, Fran Siegel, Linnea Spransy

Echoes of Voynich: Coded Systems in Contemporary Art is a group show inspired by the heretical Voynich Manuscript. This extraordinary 15th-century herbarium delves into medieval ideas of natural science. It presents a closely observed world using intricate drawings imbued with imagined spirits and anthropomorphized powers, alongside elaborately coded text that has never been deciphered.

In a similar spirit, these eight contemporary artists push back on established orders of classification offering worlds of subjective structures, where closely observed nature is conflated or indistinguishable from highly personal systems. Through painting, drawing, photography, artist books and installation work, Echoes of Voynich offers a multi-faceted view of artworks making connections and dissolving boundaries between Flora,Fauna and (Un)earthly Matter.

The exhibit is part of the Getty Institute’s PST series, this year focusing on the theme of “Art + Science: Collide”. The accompanying catalog will feature an essay by the renown artist and scholar Johanna Drucker focusing on the Voynich Manuscript’s enduring fascination for artists, cryptographers, medievalists and anyone who enjoys a literary and artistic mystery.

Wandering, embraces the spirit of exploration, focusing on abstract landscapes. The landscapes in Wandering are not literal depictions of the world around us. Instead, they are portals to imagined worlds, inviting viewers to step beyond the familiar and into the unknown. Each of the artists, guided by their unique artistic vision, have created a captivating vocabulary of form and gesture. The beauty of Wandering lies in its ability to spark individual interpretations. It's an invitation to wander not just through the paintings themselves, but also through the landscapes of our own minds.


Wandering is a journey without a destination. It's a chance to lose yourself in the possibilities of abstract forms, connecting with emotions and experiences that transcend the confines of the physical world. It's an invitation to embrace the limitless potential of the human imagination, a constant reminder that the greatest adventures often begin with a single step into the unknown.

World in Ashes - Constantin Werner Solo Exhibition

 World in Ashes

Constantin Werner Solo Exhibition 

Wonzimer Gallery 

341-B S Avenue 17 Los Angeles 90031 / wonzimerinfo@gmail.com

Opening: 3 pm- 8 pm/ Sunday, July 21st, 2024

Dates of Show: July 21st –July 28th, 2024

Artist and filmmaker Constantin Werner invites you to his latest solo exhibition, "World in Ashes," at Wonzimer Gallery, Los Angeles. Following his 2020 show, "Dead Souls," Werner returns with a visceral exploration of human impact on the planet.

"World in Ashes" serves as an artist’s reaction to the unraveling fabric of our world, capturing the devastation wrought by war, global warming, flooding, and the destruction of the rainforest. Through his conceptual, neo-expressionist oil paintings, watercolors, and charcoals, Werner invites viewers to confront the harsh realities of our time.

Drawing from personal history, Werner's portrayal of war echoes through the ruins of Dresden, a city destroyed during World War Two. His grandmother and her children were fighting for survival in that destroyed city as refugees from Czechoslovakia until they settled in Switzerland. The artist's familial ties to the aftermath of war infuse his work with a deep sense of introspection and commemoration.

In his depiction of global warming, Werner turns his gaze towards the melting ice of Antarctica, symbolizing the perilous consequences of climate change.

The legend of Atlantis serves as a haunting reminder of the destructive power of flooding, woven into the fabric of human mythology. Werner's interpretation breathes life into this ancient tale, intertwining it with contemporary narratives of rising sea levels and environmental upheaval.

Finally, the wildfires raging through the Amazon Rainforest emerge as a stark testament to humanity's impact on the natural world.

Join us as we bear witness to the beauty, the anguish, and the resilience of a world in ashes.

Opening Reception: July 10th, 6-9 PM

133 Rye Lane, Peckham SE15 4ST, United Kingdom

Dates: July 10th - 17th, 2024

Wönzimer Gallery, in collaboration with OHSH Projects, is proud to announce ‘Echoes’ a transatlantic group exhibition set to open in London. Following the success of ‘Taste’ in Los Angeles, ‘Echoes' furthers the dialogue between contemporary artists from Los Angeles and London, providing a lens into cross-cultural exchange and artistic collaboration.

‘Echoes’ will feature a dynamic mix of drawings, paintings, and sculpture work, showcasing 5 artists from Los Angeles alongside 10 artists from London. This exhibition aims to explore the resonances and contrasts between the artistic practices of two vibrant cities, both marked by their own unique socio-political landscapes yet united by the universal language of art.

The artists presented in "Echoes" have navigated through significant socioeconomic challenges, both in the United States and the United Kingdom. As the world grapples with ongoing political and economic turmoil, art remains a vital means of expression and resilience. This exhibition highlights how periods of hardship can inspire innovative and thought-provoking art.

“Love, heat, sweat, tears”

“Love, heat, sweat, tears”

Opening: 7 - 9 pm, Saturday 29th of June 2024

Lindenstraße 91, 10969 Berlin, Germany


“Love, heat, sweat, tears” is the first of three exhibitions dedicated to the amplitudes of human emotion. Everything between passion, fear, and lust will find its expression through the extraordinary selection of international artists and offer the audience an honest and intense impulse to enjoy and reflect.


The starting point of this journey will take place at roam projects in Berlin-Kreuzberg, a nonprofit organization focusing on the art and cultural exchange between the eastern parts of Europe and Germany. As an official partner of the European Capital of Culture Tartu/ South Estonia 2024, the selected artists have been a part of the long-term residency and exchange program between Berlin and Estonia and, therefore have their roots in the latter.

Wonzimer Gallery explores the international exchange with emotional works from their diverse roaster of Los Angeles and Lava from Mexico city based artists to discover the connections and dissonance that exist between these worlds of art. With selected work that touches upon the rollercoaster of modern life as well as the calm moments in between.
