A couple of solo exhibitions in LA feature artists who mix landscapes with history, mythology, and more to create abstract paintings. One is at Smart Objects in Echo Park. It’s called “Methods for Regional Stewardship,” and exhibits the work of New Mexico-based artist Will Bruno. The other exhibition, “Mineral Mythology,” is on display at La Loma Projects in Pasadena, featuring LA artist Aaron Morse.
