This Week in LA: Nov. 26→Dec. 3
In this Edition: An Early Thanksgiving Serving of Memory, Identity, and Generations in Dialogue Across Los Angeles
Happy Thanksgiving week! We’re sending this edition of LA Insider a day early so you can plan your cultural outings around the holiday. Next week, you’ll receive your LA Insider on Thursday morning as usual.
This week’s selections offer plenty to be grateful for. At Michael Werner in Beverly Hills, Brett Goodroad’s plein air paintings travel from Surprise Valley, California to Iceland and Spain, capturing the atmospheric tension between abstraction and figuration. Louis Stern Fine Arts presents Perspective and Plane, a thoughtful group show pairing estate artists like Lorser Feitelson and Helen Lundeberg with contemporary talents, sparking dialogue across generations. Over at Matthew Marks Gallery, three celebrated sculptors—Vincent Fecteau, Simone Leigh, and Marisol—come together in an unexpected conversation about figuration and abstraction. Megan Mulrooney debuts Los Angeles artist Alexandra Sherman, whose paintings distill the charged, unremarkable moments of daily life. At Charlie James Gallery, Shizu Saldamando’s intimate portraits on raw wood panel celebrate community and joyful resistance. And at Cheremoya in Glassell Park, Motoko Ishibashi’s acrylic paintings probe networked culture through a boldly layered visual language.
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with art, gratitude, and good company. Browse this week’s highlights below and map out your post-turkey gallery adventures!
