Oolong Gallery in La Jolla, California, is presenting 'Sun Goin’ Down,' the first solo exhibition of painter John Singletary, a 2025 UC San Diego MFA graduate. The show features a series of haunting, symbolic paintings that explore memory, myth, and themes of death, love, and fear through techniques like sgraffito and sanding. It runs through June 25, with a special Juneteenth event planned for June 19.
The exhibition matters because it continues Oolong Gallery’s commitment to showcasing emerging artists from UCSD, providing a crucial platform for new talent at the start of their careers. Singletary, who is relocating to New York, represents a fresh voice in contemporary painting, blending personal and cultural narratives with innovative material processes.
