Los Angeles, CA – GAVLAK is delighted to present Palimpsest, Candida Alvarez’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Born in New York and now based in Chicago and Michigan, Candida was the recipient of the Helen Frankenthaler Award for Painting from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts in 2021, as well as a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant in 2019. Over the past three decades, Alvarez has explored and expanded her conceptually rich, intuitive process of building abstract paintings.
