“espirales o flores, tal vez (spirals or flowers, maybe?)” Acha’s forms hold more than one reading at once—a spiral is also a flower, a clock face is also a moon, conjuring the way feeling and perception layer in a single moment.

Acha’s “Circular Ruins” began with this group of small paintings—the “broken clock” series. Each opens to the viewer through a clock face: springs unwind, hands drift, the mechanism comes apart. Acha’s fantastical visual language evokes timelines alongside our human one—celestial, eternal, dream—as real as the one we live by.
The gallery is open Thursday-Saturday from 12-5 and “Circular Ruins” is on view through May 30.

“Echoes of time (Cunningham Pond Swims),” 2019–2026, was started during Beverly Acha’s first fellowship at MacDowell, the historic artist residency in Peterborough, New Hampshire, where she took daily swims in Cunningham Pond, a nearby swimming hole. Acha set the painting aside for several years and picked it up again during her second MacDowell fellowship. Returning to the pond—and the painting—last summer, she realized she had been unknowingly painting the light and movement of the water all along.
Stop by until 5PM today to see Beverly Acha’s LA debut, “Circular Ruins,” on view through May 30.

IZZY LEE is delighted to present “Circular Ruins,” the LA debut of painter Beverly Acha. Opening Friday, April 17 with a reception that night from 6–9PM.
Based between Brooklyn, NY and Bennington, VT, Acha has created a new body of work that takes up the rich symbolism of time and the systems we use to order it, playfully opening and subverting both to imagine other possibilities. Informed by magical realism (the exhibition shares its title with Jorge Luis Borges’s 1940 short story), Acha offers a visual language in which familiar forms and symbols refuse to behave: the spiral that doesn’t resolve, the clock that doesn’t quite comply, the moon that keeps its own time. “Circular Ruins” invites the viewer into a space where other ways of keeping time—and the worlds they might make possible—come into view.
