Alaïa Parhizi: Abyss

Alaïa Parhizi (b. 1995, Zurich) was born to Swiss and Iranian parents and moved to Los Angeles in 2012. In 2014 he coined the philosophy of Imperfectionism, and in 2018 he co-founded the Los Angeles gallery Wönzimer with Aidan Nelson. His expansive practice unites painting, experimental audio and curatorial work. Marking eight years of building and supporting the artistic community at Wönzimer, the gallery presents a solo exhibition highlighting his personal artistic output, which treats the transformation of personal depths as a testament to the restorative power of creation.
