Steve Turner is pleased to present Cafe Society, a solo exhibition featuring new paintings by Los Angeles-based Alli Conrad that nostalgically depict vintage table settings and elegantly dressed diners underneath an afternoon blue sky. Conrad is inspired by the simple pleasure of dining outdoors at a sidewalk cafe and aims to highlight the simplicity, sophistication and importance of the bygone cafe, a place where writers, poets, artists, actors and intellectuals once gathered to spawn great ideas.

Alli Conrad (b. 1995, Raleigh, North Carolina) is a Chinese-American artist who has had solo exhibitions at BOZO Mag Gallery, Los Angeles (2024); Août Gallery, Beirut (2023) and also has had work included in group exhibitions at WOAW Gallery, Singapore (2024), Richard Heller Gallery, Los Angeles (2024) and  Sow & Tailor, Los Angeles (2023). This is her first exhibition at Steve Turner.
