OCHI is pleased to present Eventide, a solo exhibition of recent paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Paige Turner-Uribe. This is Turner-Uribe’s debut exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition will be on view at OCHI, located at 3301 W Washington Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, from April 12 through May 24, 2025. An Artist’s Reception will be held at the gallery on Saturday, April 12^th, from 12:00–2:00 PM PDT.

Eventide features paintings of quotidian moments softened by atmosphere. Gradually layering, wiping away, and reapplying oil paint, Paige Turner-Uribe generates an illusion of air, allowing light to move and create depth through the surface of her works. Shifting between scenes within her home, observed moments from her neighborhood, and panoramic views of Los Angeles, Turner-Uribe considers the diffusion and translucence of early evening and morning light as it interacts with color—overlapping and blending forms as they soften at the edges. Though ordinary, the moments captured within her home are as fleeting as the outdoor light—her daughter with her nose buried in a book, applying mascara, or showing off a freshly picked flower in a nearby park.

Often depicting her daughters, Turner-Uribe joins the longstanding art historical tradition of artists painting their children, families, and close companions. Providing an intimate glimpse into the artist’s personal life with tenderness and connection, the practice also reflects broader social context, capturing everyday life. Turner-Uribe refers to the domestic familiarity of artists such as Gwen John and her observational paintings of women holding books; Mary Cassatt’s tender depictions of women’s inner lives and subtle play of light; and Paula Modorsohn-Becker’s nude self-portraits, among others. She paints a radiant sunset and includes the numerous trash cans on the street; she features palms and a luminous apartment interior alongside a dilapidated tarp catching the wind; and she depicts her daughter on their balcony amongst the moon rise over the billboards and buildings that obscure the distant hills. In casting a glowing evening light on the otherwise mundane, Turner-Uribe honors the polarities and realities of life in Los Angeles. In the blue hour of dusk, the city and its flaws all feel a bit more magical.
