‘PARAL•LEL’, the first solo exhibition in Los Angeles by Spanish muralist and artist, ARYZ, opened April 25th 2015 with hundreds of visitors who came see his new body of work. With two complimentary parallel rooms that span over 2000 square feet, the show reflects on the definition of “PARAL•LEL” as a mathematical notion in differential geometry where two parallel geodesic lines never meet in the same plane, but intersect at infinity. 

 In addition to the sold out exhibition, ARYZ will be releasing a special giclée print Friday, May 8th at 12PM (PST) at parallel-losangeles.com. Titled, ‘Interludio’ the print is of one of the largest paintings currently exhibited at the show.

 PARAL•LEL will remain open until May 31st by appointment only and appointments to see the exhibition can be made at the event website at parallel-losangeles.com.

PARAL•LEL: Aryz Debuts Contemporary Collection of Work for First Los Angeles Exhibit

Type = ArtScans RGB : Gamma = 2.000

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.
