Back At Cha - A Celebration of Alonzo Davis

March 22 - April 19, 2025

parrasch heijnen is pleased to present Back At Cha – A Celebration of Alonzo Davis, a group exhibition commemorating the life and accomplishments of Alonzo Davis (1942-2025) and his impact on the multitude of artists who worked with him in Los Angeles.

Our dear friend, legendary artist, and gallerist Alonzo Davis passed away on the morning of January 27, 2025. He was 82 years old. Born in Tuskegee, AL in 1942, Davis’ six-decade-long career has explored a wide range of media and methods, from mural to print, painting, sculpture, performance, and installation.

This expansive tribute includes not only Alonzo Davis, but artists in his orbit and with whom he had collaborative relationships. The joyful and enthusiastic outpouring of responses to the show encapsulate Davis’ ethos of community and have resulted in the inclusion of works by 50 artists, including Judy Baca, Romare Bearden, Dale Brockman Davis, David Hammons, Mildred Howard, Suzanne Jackson, Doyle Lane, Samella Lewis, Kerry James Marshall, Senga Nengudi, John Outterbridge, Noah Purifoy, Betye Saar, Teresa Tolliver, Linda Vallejo, Carrie Mae Weems, La Monte Westmoreland, and Charles White.

Digitized ephemera from exhibitions, publications, and special projects, hundreds of art images with details, and a video library.
