In the days of a pandemic-swept nation, arts and culture are the oasis we all need to escape from the mundane routines of remote work. The LA Art Show displayed some of the best and brightest galleries the country has to offer. With limited booths and guests this year, Mash Gallery made a statement at the show’s Thursday opening night with their exuberant display of various artists.

Gavrilovic was fascinated by the differences and similarities between sharks and people. He observed that both of these apex predators are connected through their natural instincts and struggle for survival.

The human form–along with amorphous and constructive shapes–are important in Gavrilovic’s work. He combines abstract and realist approaches and combines lines that flow seamlessly with each other.                                

“With this anatomical piece, I wanted to explore anatomy more than usual because I wanted to go into human civilization and who we are,” he said, in regards to his painting Forever Man.

After the Rain by artist Marko Gavrilovic is the latest exhibition in Mash Gallery. Gavrilovic envisions a world where the rain stops falling and within that a new landscape in the process of rebuilding itself. The artist explores rain in its many forms–political, philosophical, conspiratorial, acidity, and hope. Through that hope is reconciliation, along with the looming question of what will humanity do after the rain stops falling. Gavrilovic conveys various subject matters, such as anatomical form, humanity, civilization, and the flow that connects everyone in the universe.

Downtown Los Angeles, CA. July 10, 2021– Illuminating artist Marko Gavrilovic stunned guests with his latest show After the Rain, in collaboration with Mash Gallery. Gallery owner Haleh Mashian had personally hand-picked paintings of Gavrilovic’s striking work. His colorful, graphic design-inspired pieces consist of complex neon paintings and LED sculptures, transporting the viewer inside an alternate, Escher-esque universe.

On Saturday, August 1, 5-8pm MASH Gallery will host The 99% Exhibition’s closing reception outdoors in front of the gallery. This is the final night to view this fantastic exhibition featuring Jodi Bonassi,  Albert Alvarez, and José Lozano. This open-air, outdoor exhibition will abide by social distancing rules and will be taking all the necessary precautions for the safety of the art-loving community. 

The 99% Exhibition has been extended for one more week and will now be on display at MASH Gallery until July 18th! While many are still quarantining at home, the 99% has received a lot of positive feedback both in person and virtually. The 99% Exhibition in Virtual Reality can be found here, and has been visited by people across the United States, Europe, and a few South American countries. 

Continuing with this new virtual trend, MASH Gallery will be hosting an event via the video meeting platform, Zoom.  The 99% Zoom Event will feature the exhibition’s curator David S.
