About this Event
Announcing the Ellie Mayer Gallery, a one-time, five-month pop-up gallery in LA opening in Hollywood January 31 - June 27, 2026.
"The gallery itself has a speakeasy feel, entering through an unmarked, graffiti-covered door to reveal the lofty ceilings and vast gallery space where Vezna's vibrant colors and large format works can shine."
The inaugural show, Vezna Andrews’ All We Cannot See, will open on January 31, 2026 with a reception from 5 - 8pm and run through February 28, 2026 (by appointment only beyond reception).
- Admission is FREE.
- Enter from parking lot on Schrader Blvd.
- Featuring mocktails by Ritual Zero Proof.
Vezna’s work has previously been exhibited at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Sales Gallery, The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) The Bolinas Museum, George Billis Gallery LA, Terrance Rogers Fine Art, Lauren Clark Fine Art and others. Her art is also commissioned and collected globally.This is her first solo show since becoming a mother and will showcase work spanning the last five years.It will include forty works on paper from the Minutes Art Collab — the visual component to an interdisciplinary art project she began in 2024 with two brilliant composers; Cornelius Dufallo and Guy Barash. The first twenty-four paintings were done in response to each innovative one-minute composition with violin and electronics by the composers, and viewers will be able to listen to the music on their phones. The second series of sixteen paintings, in 2025, were done simultaneously as the music was created, all three artists working in their disciplines — composers and musicians and painter, sharing their works in progress with each other.
The exhibit also sees Andrews return to abstracts, which the artist, also an author, began exploring while working on her second novel. While researching near death experiences she was inspired by first person accounts which consistently described the presence of a person to help them on their journey, offering unconditional love and compassion. At this time, Vezna started painting angels, eight of which will be displayed, each on four-foot-high by three-foot-wide canvases. The NDE accounts also told of people seeing colors they’d never seen before, and this led Vezna to explore what these colors might look like. She started to pastel-ize fluorescents. During this same period, Vezna’s grandfather had passed and she inherited his art supplies, including Dr. Ph. Martin’s watercolors, which she began using and mixing with acrylics.The show will also exhibit thirteen large wall sized paintings, as well as some smaller works and studies.
