New two person exhibition “Lying” only a little, @interval.la Los Angeles Saturday September 26th with @kristi_head

POSTS STORIES REELS

“A lot of my work is trying to find solitude in chaos.”
For Mark Acetelli, painting has increasingly become an act of subtraction — removing information until light, space and stillness can carry the image.

Two works by Mark Acetelli, where light and stillness emerge through reduction.
01 — Let It Pass, 2026 02 — Mark Acetelli, work title TBC

From Lying, but only a little, on view at INTERVAL through 10 October 2026.
Friday–Sunday · 1–5 PM and by appointment

INTERVAL 2522 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles

Fantastic night last night! A big thank you for everyone who came to the opening and thank you to @interval.la @markhamptonhair for putting it all together and making it a successful and very special night for @kristi_head and I.

@mark_acetelli’s recent practice moves toward subtraction — toward what he describes as “emotional clarity over complexity.”
Light, atmosphere and absence become active parts of the image; space is not emptiness, but room to look and feel.
His work forms one half of “Lying, but only a little” at INTERVAL.

Opening September 26 at INTERVAL.

Here’s my point of view working on this piece and a glimpse into my process. With inspirational photo I took this morning that kind of set the tone for this piece.

A quick glimpse into the studio, the mess, the mayhem and madness. Working now on a commission in the extreme heat with no ac, just a couple of fans. Drinking lots of water and just keep on keeping on until the day ends. Hopefully with something I’m happy with, if not, I just keeping showing up.

The work is one part of an exhibition. The room around it becomes another.
Artists, visitors, conversations — and the moments in between.

The exhibition changes when people enter the room.
Looking, talking, moving between the works — a few moments inside Lying, but only a little.

Some works ask you to come closer. Others need a little distance.

Curated, hung, framed. @markhamptonhair ‘lying but only a little’ was a fable I found in a Chilean book I got in Patagonia. Amazing art by @mark_acetelli few pieces left for sale. Check the website! We ship all over the USA. #intervalgallery #moderntimes by @mark_acetelli

For Mark Acetelli, the process increasingly begins with taking things away.

Less information. More space. Light allowed to carry more of the image.

In his words, the work moves toward “emotional clarity over complexity.”
