R.B. Stevenson Gallery presents "West Coast Visions", a group exhibition of new work by Los Angeles artists Charles Arnoldi, Jimi Gleason, and Astrid Preston, on view June 6 through June 30, 2026. The three painters share a distinctly California sensibility, such as Arnoldi's bold, hard-edged geometric abstractions; Gleason's luminous, iridescent surfaces that shift with the changing light; and Preston's atmospheric color fields overlaid with a fine, hand-painted webbing. Together their work spans the spectrum from structure to dissolve, from solid form to pure light. An opening reception with the artists will be held Saturday, June 6, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. R.B. Stevenson Gallery is located at 7661 Girard Avenue, Suite 101, La Jolla. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit: https://www.rbstevensongallery.com/pages/current_exhibitions.html R.B. Steveson Gallery on Instagram and Facebook
