Leo Marmol
A solo art exhibition “Recurrence” by Leo Marmol, will have an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, February 5. The exhibition will run though March 1, at the Charles Arnoldi Studio, 721 Hampton Drive, Venice. A rideshare is recommended, valet is $16. RSVP to [email protected]
The exhibit brings together paintings inspired by the artist’s long engagement with the shifting light and sand of the California landscape, alongside a new series centered on cyclical gesture. These gestures form the thematic root of the exhibition: repetition as an ongoing act of attention and perpetual return—a consistent element informing Marmol’s practice.
Leo Marmol is a Los Angeles-based artist and architect. He is a founding partner of Marmol Radziner and is known for his leadership in architecture and his expanding presence in fine art.
Working primarily with oil paint and cold wax medium on canvas or wood panel, Marmol’s negotiation of material is vital to his practice. Marmol’s paintings explore the nature of color and personal history through abstraction.
His first solo show, Los Colores de Assimilation, focused on his search for heritage as the American-born child of Cuban immigrants. Marmol has exhibited his works in solo and group exhibitions at the Landing gallery in Los Angeles, Melissa Morgan Fine Art in Palm Springs and Patrick Gallery in Cambria. The artist’s professional and creative life bridges architecture and art, guided by a deep appreciation for beauty in all its forms.
