Two days left to see Lily Ramirez’s beautiful takes on landscape paintings. Her work graces the walls of both our Main Street and Libbie Galleries in our current show Field Studies; closing Friday July 24th. You do not want to miss this beautiful work! Lily Ramírez (b. 1991, Los Angeles) is a Mexican-American painter known for her distinctive “mark-making”style, transforming abstract lines and vivid color into dynamic aerial maps of landscapes and environments. Beneath the intricate compositions, her work carries deeper personal narratives, subtly encoded in the evocative titles of each piece—titles that poetically intertwine with core memories from her own life.Thank you @lilydizzyfoshizy and @simchowitzgallery Work Info:Lily Ramirez, Bed Drawing, 2023, Oil stick on wood board, 20 x 20 x 2 inches Lily Ramirez, El Paisajito, 2026, Oil on canvas, 20 x 20 x 1.38 inches by @simchowitzgallery

Ken Taylor Reynaga'Beneath the Avocado Tree'On view through 07/25Come visit!There is a particular kind of shade, soft and irregular, shifting with the wind, where time slows just enough to notice what usually slips by. Beneath the Avocado Tree begins in that space. In this exhibition, Taylor Reynaga approaches the landscape not as distant scenery but as something inhabited, labored in, and carried physically. Fields, mountains, and domestic interiors unfold in saturated color and restless line, shaped less by direct observation than by recollection, by the sensation of being inside a place that has already taken hold of you. The paintings resist stillness. They move between figuration and abstraction, between presence and erasure, as if the image itself were struggling to retain what cannot be fixed. At the core of these works are those whose labor sustains daily life, figures largely unacknowledged. Forms appear and recede, elongated, fragmented, or partially absorbed into their surroundings. Cowboys, workers, and caretakers move through the terrain, their bodies bending toward it, merging with it, until the boundary between figure and ground dissolves. A hat becomes a hill. A body becomes a shadow. The land holds their imprint, even when it does not name them. “I think of the people,” the artist reflects. “The people who take care of our landscape. My people. The ones who clean our homes, fix our cars, grow and harvest our food, build our houses, repair our plumbing, hang our lights, and cook our meals. Beneath this tree, I think about how they remain unseen. How we’ve lived invisible within the land we cultivate, to the point that we’ve become part of it.(Cont. in comments...) by @simchowitzgallery

“So what I’m trying to present here, if you walk around, is just the beauty of the equipment, just the makers that I choose, the manufacturers I choose, make really... aesthetic stuff, you know, Reinhard Thöress’ amplifiers are just beautiful to look at. They’re just objects of desire. So unlike most audio businesses, I’m sort of 50% lifestyle, 50% audio, both have to be excellent. But if they don’t cross that boundary together, I’m not interested. So there’s a lot of great product that sounds great, but it’s just hideously ugly, not interested in it. And there’s a lot of beautiful product, that is really shitty, from an audio point of. So you have to find that boundary. And what I generally do is, um, I ask people to send me a picture of their living room or whatever, and try and really advise aesthetically 1st what you’re going to enjoy looking at, because most of the... time the stuff is not on. So it has to have a sculptural element. It has to enhance the living room.”This is an excerpt from the interview with Stefan Simchowitz about Simco Audio, Stefan’s curated audio systems, and their role as part of Simchowitz Gallery’s Hill House experience.🎥 Complete video: vtv.la or link in bio.#simcoaudio #highendaudio #contemporaryart #interview #simchowitzgallery @stefansimchowitz @audiosimco @simchowitzgallery @creativeartpartners by @simchowitzgallery
