‘PARAL•LEL’, the first exhibition in Los Angeles by Spanish muralist Aryz opened Saturday, April 25th. Set in a downtown building with two parallel gallery spaces, the complimentary collections showcase classic Aryz skulls and paintings that translate his large-scale murals onto canvas. The original work is intended to reflect the contradictions the artist faces in creating work for both public and interior spaces.

See selected works from PARAL•LEL below. The exhibition runs through May 31st. Shown by appointment only. For information visit the event website parallel-losangeles.com and artist’s website aryz.es.

Barcelona fine artist and contemporary muralist Aryz presents his first Los Angeles exhibition, ‘PARAL•LEL’, opening April 25, 2015. PARAL•LEL is presented in two seperate rooms, symbolizing two lines that never meet in the same plane, but intersect at infinity. The collections are built to reflect the contradictions the artist faces in creating work for both interior environments and public spaces. One room showcases a sparse, traditionally hung collection of classical paintings, while the other displays high-energy, expressive contemporary works.

At just 26 years old, Aryz has firmly established himself in the worlds of fine art and contemporary muralism. The artist’s work incorporates both academic painting along with contemporary techniques and mediums.  ‘PARAL•LEL’,  is Aryz’s first extensive body of indoor work.

Bilbao, Spain: ”El fin justificado”

“I always thought that the most difficult thing of painting in big formats was too keep the line gesture and the proportions like in the sketches. My sketches have a lot of mistakes and random lines, and somehow I wanted to reproduce that on a wall. The more effects and colors you use on your work, the more you can hide the mistakes and catch the viewer’s attention… when you use the line and not much more, the mistakes can be easily seen…” -Aryz
