April 8 — 12, 2021 · Artists: John Sonsini

Vielmetter Los Angeles is pleased to announce a solo presentation of new paintings by Los Angeles-based artist John Sonsini for EXPO Chicago 2021. Painted in 2020-2021 the presentation comprises a group of seven new portraits of Sonsini’s long-term partner and portrait sitter Gabriel Barajas. Sonsini has painted over 200 portraits of Gabriel over the years and he was his sole subject for nearly six years dating back to 1995. Due to the pandemic, Sonsini began to paint Gabriel again both in response to the new constraints of having sitters at the studio and in the interest of returning to a familiar subject.
