Icons in Bloom Exhibition Opening

Burton Morris returns to LA with his first solo in 15 years, debuting all-new pop works at MASH Gallery

LOS ANGELES, CA — Contemporary pop artist Burton Morris will present his first Los Angeles solo exhibition in over fifteen years with the opening of a new show at MASH Gallery in West Hollywood.

The exhibition features an entirely new body of original paintings and wall sculptures and opens with a public opening on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

Titled ICONS IN BLOOM, the exhibition introduces three new series centered on Morris’ evolving icon language: the rose, the popcorn box filled with roses, and the Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle. Together, the works explore themes of beauty, imagination, and luxury through layered silkscreen, spray paint, and hand-painted acrylic surfaces. Known internationally for his bold pop imagery across entertainment, sports, and cultural institutions, Morris uses this exhibition to mark a significant shift in his practice — moving from tightly rendered graphic icons toward more expressive, layered, and process-driven compositions he describes as “perfect imperfections.”

“This exhibition is about reopening the icon,” Morris says. “Letting the image breathe through layers, variation, and energy. It’s the most expressive body of work I’ve shown in Los Angeles.”
