THE CITYSCAPE SHOW XV:
Ordinary Places | Singular Moments
July 12 - August 23, 2025
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 12, 3-6pm

Billis Williams Gallery is pleased to present ORDINARY PLACES | SINGULAR MOMENTS: THE CITYSCAPE SHOW XV opening July 12th. The show features gallery artists as well as invited guest artists working in a variety of mediums and continues through August 23rd.

For fifteen years, the gallery has presented The Cityscape Show with each edition focusing on a different angle of how artists see the strange metropolis that is Los Angeles. This year’s exhibition looks at the views artists capture of this city from a more intimate view. The simplicity of a window ledge and buildings beyond, chairs in the shade, a lone freeway.

Our lives are made up of singular moments. Some are mundane. Some are heartbreaking. Some are beautiful. Many are somewhere between these extremes. A painting takes that moment and preserves it - shares it with others and sets it down for eternity. Or so one would think. Paintings are meant to endure - they are meant to be passed down through the ages and become a record of their time.

The fires and political turmoil of this year have shown us that little is guaranteed - that things we take for granted can so easily be lost in a moment. There is a solitary quality to the work - a sense of waiting, a sense of being in the in-between, of moments about to happen.

Life is the sum of those moments - intense joy, deep darkness, and everything that exists in between.

The show this year features Alex Roulette, Ana Medina, Ben Schwab, Bradley Hankey, Bryan Ida, Carla Falb, Christine Frerichs, Christine Rasmussen, Danny Heller, Eric Hesse, Fabiola Gironi, Francis DiFronzo, Kenny Harris, Kevin Yaun, Lana Shuttleworth, Lindsey Warren, Lisa Golightly, Magnolia Lafleur, Mary-Austin Klein, Matt Condron, Patricia Chidlaw, Raymond Logan, Samantha Fields, Taylor Montague, and Terry Leness.
