The other six doors, and the better hunting ground. Carole Vanderlinden's first LA outing, Mel Odom's airbrushed dreams, and a Roger Herman poppy field. Under two kilometres end to end.

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.

Sea View 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.

Carpenters Workshop Gallery
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 painters whose abstract works balance structure with intuition. Using grids, repetition, color systems, and material constraints as starting points, the artists explore how rules can become catalysts for expression rather than ends in themselves. The exhibition reveals abstraction as a process of negotiation, where precision and spontaneity coexist to create nuanced, emotionally resonant paintings.
