Mario Ayala's first U.S. solo museum exhibition, 'Seven Vans,' has opened at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH). The show, on view from November 14, 2025, through June 21, 2026, features seven life-size van paintings that use the vehicle's rear body as a shaped canvas.

The artist describes his process as 'Research While Driving,' documenting rear vehicle perspectives over six years.
