GROUP EXHIBITION

Los Angeles is a city of paradox—of dreams and disasters, reinvention and loss. It is a place where the promise of renewal is as present as the risk of devastation. For artist Ruby Neri, the recent wildfires in Los Angeles burned her home, studio, and decades worth of work. Yet in the wake of destruction, the strength of the creative community has proved that in this city, solidarity endures.

Alongside Neri’s work, the exhibition features Aaron Garber-Maikovska, Karin Gulbran, Spencer Lewis, Brian Rochefort, Ferrari Sheppard, and Lily Stockman. Garber-Maikovska’s bold, gestural compositions vibrate with raw energy, while Gulbran’s mirrors blur the lines between art and craft, transforming functional objects into elaborate reflections. Lewis’s textured canvases capture both chaos and relief, and Rochefort’s bulbous sculptures echo the primal forces that shape this land - eruption, destruction, and rebirth. Sheppard’s vivid floral compositions evoke domesticity, romance, and quiet contemplation, while Stockman’s luminous biomorphic arrangements distill the delicate beauty of nature.

And at the heart of it all, Ruby Neri, whose fearless, expressive figures embody both celebration and catharsis, drawing us into emotionally charged narratives. Her ceramic works, defying conventional function, act as both barriers and gateways, shielding fragile interior worlds while simultaneously inviting us in.

Ultimately, Los Angeles, Give Me a Miracle: Benefit Show for Ruby Neri is an act of collective care. Los Angeles is a city built on reinvention, but its true foundation is its people. This exhibition is about more than one artist’s loss—it is about a community standing together in the face of hardship. Los Angeles, Give Me a Miracle does not wait for divine intervention; it affirms that the miracle is already here, in the hands of those who refuse to let each other fall.
