Curator: Tia Xu Exhibition Date: April 26th – May 31st, 2025 Opening Reception: 2–5 PM, April 26th, 2025 Address: The Scholart Selection, 417 South Mission Drive, San Gabriel, CA 91776 The Scholart Selection is pleased to present My Room Is Not My Room, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Kim Marra, on view from April 26 to May 31, 2025. Curated by New York–based curator Tia Xu, the exhibition features over twenty recent oil paintings. Kim Marra reconstructs familiar domestic spaces through her signature geometric compositions and saturated color fields. Drawing from everyday household objects such as curtains, pillows, plants, and bed linens, she employs collage, displacement, and reassembly to strip these elements of their original context—producing a visual language that is at once intimate and estranged. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Kim Marra is an artist and curator originally from New York. After graduating from SUNY New Paltz with a BFA in Painting, Kim spent several years living and working in New York City before relocating to Los Angeles in 2016. She has exhibited extensively over the past 10 years and has shown both nationally and internationally. In Southern California, Kim has exhibited with The Torrance Art Museum, The Helms Design Center and Angel’s Gate Cultural Center. She has been featured in several publications and was selected as one of Saatchi Art’s “22 Artists to Collect in 2022”. In 2018, Kim began curating in independent art spaces and has produced several successful exhibitions around the Los Angeles area, most recently at Keystone Art Space in 2025. Kim’s paintings focus on personal spaces and the objects we fill our lives with. She creates surrealist, geometric compositions that combine different textures, surfaces and patterns. These motifs are collaged together into nonsensical spaces that feel both welcoming and confusing. Kim is interested in the tension that results when symbols of comfort, like pillows and house plants, are abstracted and deconstructed. The resulting imagery is meant to feel both recognizable and completely foreign, inviting the viewer to enter each space with cautious curiosity. ABOUT THE GALLERY Founded in 2022, THE SCHOLART SELECTION is a vibrant contemporary art gallery in the historic San Gabriel Mission district of Los Angeles. Deeply integrated into the city’s Asian American community, the gallery is committed to uplifting and promoting artists from diverse backgrounds for Asian collectors globally. THE SCHOLART SELECTION transcends the role of a mere venue for art; it serves as a storyteller, an educator, and a connector. With a team of skilled curators, exhibition specialists, and media experts, the gallery breaks through traditional barriers to make contemporary art more relatable and accessible to Asian collectors worldwide. Additionally, THE SCHOLART SELECTION focuses on ukiyo-e and master prints, catering to the tastes of discerning collectors. By offering these exquisite works, the gallery bridges the gap between contemporary art and historical masterpieces, enriching the cultural tapestry available to the audience.
