Leul Asfaw
The Storm Clouds are Leaving
July 16 – September 3, 2022
Tierra del Sol proudly presents Leul Asfaw: The Storm Clouds are Leaving. This is his first solo
exhibition with the Gallery, since joining the Tierra del Sol Art Studio program in 2012. Asfaw
creates lush land and cityscapes that reflect his travels and his interests in the language of spaces and places. He is drawn to color-rich vistas that allow him to express the diverse palettes of natural and built environments.
Asfaw constructs his landscapes with repetitive strikes of colored pencil on paper, often giving his work the feel of a painting. With his attention to color, he thoroughly works the medium, saturating the paper and boldly transforming layers of hues into forms that delineate structure as well as
suggest something more poetic.
Tierra del Sol Gallery presents 10 x 10, a massive group exhibition featuring submissions from nearly all Tierra del Sol Studio program participants. This exhibition continues the gallery’s annual tradition to showcase the collective energy that makes our organization vital to communities from Upland to Sunland and beyond.

Show runs November 12th – December 23rd, 2022

Tonmoy Khan: EVERYTHING
Opening Saturday, January 14th | 6-9 pm
On view through March 4th, 2023
Tierra del Sol Gallery presents Tonmoy Khan: Everything, Khan’s first solo exhibition. Everything embodies Khan’s feelings, his practice and his commitment to making visual language. He uses various media to illustrate his flora and fauna inspired images, including pencil, oil pastels and markers, the combination of these creates vibrant color, texture and depth. His work tells important stories of how he sees and interprets the world around him.
Khan immigrated from Bangladesh in 2011 and joined Tierra’s Studio Art Program in 2019. Khan uses tape to delineate rich geometric watercolor patterns that frame subjects including elaborately potted plants and other still life. Everything also includes surreal imagery depicting hands, flowers, insects, Pokemon and everything in between. Khan implores what he calls his “Secret Imagination” to work through both the stress of living so far from home and the pleasure in his deep connections to his friends, family and ideas that are often expressed in his surrealist works.
Please join us and the artist in celebration of this exciting body of work,
January 14, 6-9pm at the gallery in Chinatown, Los Angeles.
