E. E. Kono’s prismatic egg tempera paintings are inspired by 16th-century portraits, and “local maritime history.” In Mark Gleason’s new work, the concept of the wilderness is treated as a literary metaphor for darkness, danger, and the unknown. Amanda Adomaitis creates ceramic creatures to life in a hybrid of abstraction and personality. La Luz de Jesus, 4633 Hollywood Blvd.; open by appointment through August 2; laluzdejesus.com
