Main Gallery

All artworks in this exhibit are accompanied by remarks from the artist, Mark Vallen:

"I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California (1953) and I've been creating socially conscious artworks in the realist tradition for as long as I can remember. I have faith in the ability of art to heal, transform, educate, and uplift - powers that are needed now more than ever before. In that spirit I present on this page just some of the artworks I've created from the period spanning 1975 to the present."
