Technology is always suspect, even in its pleasurableness. We love to hate it, yet we rely on it arguably to the point of our own obliteration. Bruce Yonemoto and Grant Levy-Doolittle have quite literally woven together the fibers that decimate information in our...
Dirk Braeckman's photographs celebrate the passing moment. Images that we are all too familiar with yet often take for granted, are laid bare in exquisite and ethereal shades of gray whereby a single tree set into the landscape explodes with a glowing internal...
New York-based artist Amy Park, in her second solo show at Kopeikin Gallery has reproduced, in intimate and gorgeously rendered watercolors, Ed Ruscha's 1966 seminal book project “Every Building On The Sunset Strip.” This is no easy task to be sure, and Park nails...
Artist Rory Devine has organized a perfectly exquisite gem of a show at Wilding Cran Gallery. One that revisits—with much celebratory aplomb—the artists who once exhibited at the fabled TRI Gallery back in the 1990s. Though disparate, thankfully the artists featured...
Abel Alejandre's meticulously crafted charcoal drawings address the complexities of the human experience with eloquence and power. "Public Secrets" represents an amalgam of acrylic paintings (and paintings on hats) that memorialize the richness of the world we live...
Sometimes “outsider” artists are really not that far outside, though they may indeed be “far out” in content and imagination. Deveron Richard, whose first exhibition at The Good Luck Gallery in Chinatown, is far out in its glorious exploration into the fantastical...
In the tradition of the famous and innovative Light and Space artists working in Los Angeles in the 1960s, Carrie Seid fashions beautiful sculptural works that, like her predecessors, celebrate light in all its luminous vicissitudes. For Seid, optics can be an...

Western Project, formerly a brick-and-mortar gallery in Culver City, now puts on pop-up shows in and around Los Angeles. Their most recent migrated to Jaus Gallery, and the results are a grouping of playful, colorful abstractions that aim to please. Beverly Fishman's...
Lester Monzon's second solo exhibition with Mark Moore Gallery is titled "SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM," which translates to "If you want peace, prepare for war," and reads as an enigma wrapped within an enigma as these loosely rendered gestural works are also...
Stephanie Pryor's work continues to evolve and resonate in both the abstract and narrative realm. This most recent suite of paintings are exquisitely lush and suggest more complex narrative relationships as in “Crow Jane,” where a series of small crow heads punctuate...
Black Mountain College was for a short time a hotbed of collaboration and inspiration among the very best and most gifted artists and poets of the 20th Century. "Leap Before You Look" at the Hammer Museum gives us an unerring glimpse into the world of artists whose...
Jake Ziemann's elegantly understated sculptural works on view at Shulamit Nazarian are as delightfully witty as they are beautifully constructed. Ceramics is witnessing a renaissance lately, particularly in Los Angeles, and it is a real pleasure to come across an...
Cy Twombly’s suite of stunningly chaotic and gorgeously rendered free-form drawings at c.nichols project would stop any viewer dead in their tracks. These are ferociously contemporary works that are mandatory viewing for anyone interested in modern art in any...
Jimi Gleason’s newest body of work on view at William Turner Gallery almost seem like painterly mirrors reflecting the artist’s continued investigation into materiality and form. These large-scale paintings are brightly colored and luminously reflective, giving them...

Bettina Hubby displays a raucous sense of humor in her second solo show aptly titled "The Sexual Bronze Show" at Klowden Mann. Mining a territory that expounds on the sexual pun, Hubby identifies objects from the grocery store that in some way compliment one another...
"Love Potions" at Maloney Fine Art is a wonderfully subtle and wistful exhibition of works by three Los Angeles artists. Kim McCarty, Roger Herman and Mona Kuhn have created a mélange of ceramics, watercolors and photographs that play off each other, creating...
