A surreal dreamscape exists inside Ariana Papademetropoulos’ mind. In the current paradoxical time of digital vintage filters on technological apps, Papademetropoulos’ work is a picturesque merger of past and present, with large-scale colorful oil paintings created...
When art is construed to be some thing that translates the tension between its physical and visual manifestation and the more complex thinking and barely articulable feeling-processes of the artist, then the sculptural work of Rebecca Ripple should be described as...
Photo-sculptor Jeremy Kidd stares down the clash of the natural with the aerodynamic lines of technology in his bracing installation at the Museum of Art and History at Lancaster. Kidd’s “The Interrupted Landscape” is one of several solo exhibitions currently at MOAH...

In Channing Hansen's solo gallery debut, which consists of nine large knitted works and one salon-style grid of smaller pieces, traditional stretcher bars are visible behind the gauzy woven materials. For these undeniably engaging works, Hansen acquires, dyes, and...
Evan Trine's digitally generated photographic works are distillations—works that abstractly reference their sources. Trine sifts through trending online news feeds, reducing or compressing into a single element the images and headlines he finds. The colored grids and...
Nihura Montiel’s current solo show, “New Paintings,” now on view at @leiminspace in Chinatown delights in mimicking the various plush terrycloths and fabrics that function as fetish objects in her critique of misunderstood femininity. Her paintings of Cinderella,...
There are 15 pieces in Yao's show “Bay of Smokes,” but one work transcends its counterparts so glowingly that it's hard not to long for a one-work show. Or at least with a caveat: one work per room. The piece in question, called Doppelgängers (all works 2016), is a...
With his new solo show, “Time Machine” at Jason Vass, Mark Dutcher seeks to convey through his paintings various subjective and illusory experiences, starting with a moment of supreme clarity he felt as he stood before the Susan Rothenberg painting Blue Bars at LACMA...
Bubblegum colors and an interest in the mundane are threads that unite the seemingly unrelated pieces in “Pizza, Bagpipe, Carburetor” by Meg Cranston. The show’s conceptual gambit—subject matter selected by Cranston using an internet-hosted random noun generator, an I...
Erwin Wurm’s "One Minute Sculptures" at The MAK Center is crammed with critically disruptive content, though at first glance there’s not much to look at. In a literalized enactment of the Duchampian observation that “the viewer completes the art,” visitors to Wurm’s...

For her second exhibition with Von Lintel Gallery, Farrah Karapetian has produced a thoughtful new series comprising 12 large-scale Chromogenic photograms. The show’s title, “Relief,” is a direct reference to the perilous flight of the refugee at sea while other...
