David Hockney recycles work from one medium into another, reinventing his own methodologies in the process. His versatility is highlighted in his show titled "Something New in Painting (and Photography) [and even Printing]... Continued," where landscape paintings,...
Beverly Pepper
Beverly Pepper's renown for large-scale outdoor sculptures makes her lesser-known small works seem particularly fresh and intimate. "New Particles from the Sun" features 25 modestly-sized indoor sculptures, mostly on pedestals, and a larger one in the courtyard at...
Fred Eversley; Evan Holloway
One transparent parabolic-lens sculpture by Fred Eversley offers a dynamic experience. Ten offer something closer to awe. Individually, they call forth orbicular celestial bodies; en masse, they encompass a galaxy of evocations. Each of his untitled resin sculptures...
Farnaz Shadravan
A mood of musing remembrance pervades "Rearranging My Furniture," Farnaz Shadravan's show presenting sculptural reconfigurations of household items. In Shadravan's hands, parts of once-utilitarian objects such as chairs and doors become meditative totems of...
Helen Lundeberg
Helen Lundeberg (1908-1999) wrote in 1942 that her aim was "to calculate, and reconsider, every element in a painting with regard to its function in the whole organization." The renowned Post-Surrealist's precision of shape, color and composition is amply displayed in...
Lisa Adams
"A Piebald Era" at Garis & Hahn showcases Lisa Adams' latest explorations of painting's potential for capturing modern life's contradictions and irrationalities. Evoking derelict urban landscapes filtered through surreal reveries, Adams' new paintings lead viewers...
Caitlin Cherry; Zackary Drucker
The first thing one notices upon entering Caitlin Cherry's show at Luis De Jesus is her sensational palette so improbable that it seems to have dropped from outer space. Clashing vibrant colors contrast, oscillate and dazzle as though her paintings were a laser light...
Bridget Riley
Who needs hallucinogens when there are Bridget Riley paintings to fill your field of vision? I'm dizzy, my head is swimming, and vivid spots and rays are dancing so furiously in my eyes that it's like I'm looking through a ghost of a kaleidoscope, minutes after...
Anthony Burdin
Michael Benevento's website is devoid of a bio for Anthony Burdin, a reclusive artist whose work is as intriguing and enigmatic as his mysterious persona. Untitled, Burdin's show encompasses works from 1992-2018 in a wide array of media. Each of Benevento's four...
Alexandra Noel; Alan Turner
Up an elegant staircase in the Los Feliz mansion that is Parker Gallery, Alexandra Noel's paintings delineate rural scenes appearing very different than the verdant residential realm visible outside diamond-paned windows in the small chamber they currently occupy....
Rosa Loy
Rosa Loy's paintings in "So Near and Yet So Far" at Kohn Gallery delineate a mysterious fairytale world desolately populated only by women. Initially, the women appear to be engaged in habitual activities such as farming or playing; but the more you look at them, the...
Max Hooper Schneider
Cleverly titled "Tryouts for the Human Race," Max Hooper Schneider's show features only four works, each of which exists as a wondrous self-contained realm inside Jenny's, a diminutive Silver Lake gallery whose absence of outward signage makes the sight inside all the...
Meleko Mokgosi
"Objects of Desire: Reflections on the African Still Life" is a tour de force of technical versatility, showcasing Meleko Mokgosi's multifarious painting skills alongside written testaments of his art's heady conceptual foundations. Mokgosi's paintings and sculptures...
Kimberly Brooks
Calling all Kimberly Brooks fans: A short time remains to catch "Fever Dreams," her mid-career survey at Mt. San Antonio College Art Gallery. More than 20 pieces, from small studies to watercolors on paper to large-scale oil paintings, sketch Brooks' artistic...
Jo Ann Callis
Uneasy undercurrents seep from Jo Ann Callis' delusively simple images. Her versatile talent for finding eeriness in the everyday is amply demonstrated in "Now and Then" at ROSEGALLERY. This manifold selection of paintings, sculptures and photographs from the 1970's...
Alex Roulette; Eric Hesse
Two painters posit banal architectural environments as metaphoric expressions of thoughts and emotions at George Billis Gallery. Each of the eight oil paintings comprising Alex Roulette's show, "Memory Moving Sideways," features one or more people dwarfed by...
Elemental
A beautifully curated show unites abstractions by Andy Moses, Jen Stark and Kelsey Brookes at William Turner Gallery. Its title, "Elemental," betokens the three painters' employment of basic lines and simple shapes as fundamental building blocks for compositions...
Thomas Fougeirol
Painter Thomas Fougeirol doesn't paint in the traditional sense of the word; rather, he encrusts canvases with sculptural superficies across which he sprays pigment and blasts debris. If these techniques sound terribly obtuse, their results are anything but. The...
