William Turner Gallery is delighted to share that gallery artist Shingo Francis is participating in the Zushi Art Festival 2026, taking place October 3–25 in Zushi, Japan. This year's festival, themed “The Future Begins Here, A Place for New Beginnings,” brings together contemporary art and cultural programming across a variety of venues throughout the coastal city. Known for his luminous abstractions and explorations of light, color, and perception, Francis creates work that invites viewers to consider their relationship with the surrounding environment. We are thrilled to see his work celebrated as part of this vibrant international arts event. Visit www.zushi-art.com/zaf2026 to learn more about the festival and its programming.

Concurrently, Shingo is participating in 50 Seconds Vol. 2, a group exhibition at SODA, an artist-run space in Kyoto, Japan. On view October 10–12 and 17–19, 2026, the exhibition brings together 34 contemporary artists, each presenting a 50-second video work. Known for his luminous explorations of light, color, and perception, Francis brings his distinctive artistic sensibility to this time-based format. Organized by Kazuhito Tanaka, Futo Akiyoshi, and Isabelle Olivier, the exhibition revisits a concept first presented at SODA in 2022, offering a diverse range of artistic perspectives within the shared constraint of 50 seconds. We are delighted to celebrate Shingo's continued international presence and encourage those in Kyoto to experience this exciting exhibition.

Moses@100 Named 1 of Top 5 Things to do In August! - C Magazine

William Turner Gallery is honored that C Magazine has recognized Moses@100 as one of California’s five must-see experiences for August, and we invite visitors from Los Angeles and beyond to experience the exhibition while it remains on view.

For those who have followed Ed Moses’ work for decades, Moses@100 offers an opportunity to revisit the work of one of Los Angeles’ great artistic innovators. For those encountering Moses for the first time, the exhibition provides an introduction to an artist whose curiosity never diminished.

One hundred years after his birth, Ed Moses’ work continues to move, challenge, and surprise.

C Magazine writes: “Each month we share five unmissable things to see and do in the Golden State. You heard it here first.” The gallery is thrilled that the exhibition celebrating the art of legendary Calirfornia artist Ed Moses was considered one of the unmissable milestones of the month! 

Guillermo Bert's Upcoming Solo Show at the Museum of Latin American Ar

Congratulations to Guillermo Bert on his upcoming solo show, Techno-Empathy, opening at the Museum of Latin American Art on March 29.

This exhibition shows the Chilean-born artist Guillermo Bert bringing the two together in novel and powerful ways. He uses three principal tools, all of them uncommon in most art production: QR codes, 3-D imaging, and laser engraving. In the Encoded Textiles series, weavings include QR codes that literally embed the story of the weaver into the work so that anyone with a smartphone can see and hear them. Through 3-D imaging, the artist creates life-size images of workers whom he has met, allowing us also to meet them face to face from a unique perspective. Media images today often show migrants and refugees, but Bert uses laser engraving to transfer them onto unusual surfaces, such as wood panels that mimic the look of some of the earliest “high technology:” the rectangular panels that encoded instructions for the first mechanical looms in the 19th century.

Charles Arnoldi in The Hollywood Reporter

Congratulations to Charles Arnoldi for his recent feature in Michael Slenske's article "Guns and Glitter: How LA's Top Artists Reimagine the Oscar" for The Hollywood Reporter!

Charles Arnoldi

Slenske writes: For this portfolio, [Arnoldi] did something he almost never does: “I don’t really think about the Oscars, and I don’t make figurative work,” he says. “But there’s a human quality to this particular sculpture because it has legs and these morphing human forms. I guess you could say that’s a commentary on the chaos that accompanies the Oscars race every year.”

Mark Steven Greenfield Solo Show at the Boone Family Gallery at Pasadena City College

William Turner Gallery is happy to congratulate Mark Steven Greenfield on his extraordinary solo show, Venerated, at Pasadena City College’s Boone Family Gallery. The exhibition received an in-depth review by Suzanne York which included excerpts of Greenfield’s art practice and activism as well as discussion of the spiritual and historical themes that shape his work. York highlights how Greenfield’s paintings draw on cultural memory, overlooked figures from the African diaspora, and symbols such as the Black Madonna and mandala forms to explore history, resistance, and renewal.

“The Boone Gallery exhibition offers visitors a unique look across the evolving stages of Greenfield’s artistic life. It presents work that is visually striking, historically rich, and unapologetically challenging.”

The show was also cited by PBS SoCal as one of the five best things to do during the week of March 2-8!
