The holiday season has officially wrapped up, and for that, many are grateful, but for those who still yearn for festivities, the LA art scene this weekend certainly delivered. With galleries revved up into full gear, we were overwhelmed by the array of possible...
The new year got off to a rousing start on the LA art scene this week, with a wide variety of exhibitions all around town. At Durden and Ray, viewers were encouraged to “cleanse your soul” through the art of "Disclosure." Curators Dani Dodge and Alanna Marcelletti...
As a lover of paintings incorporating bold figure and narrative, I was excited to see Anja Salonen’s new series for her show "Lagomorph Labyrinth" at Sade Gallery. Salonen’s work tends to merge conventional figurative form with the unexpected, resulting in...
While the majority of the art world appeared caught in the Art Basel craze last week, we were happy to brave the storm on a rare rainy night here in LA. We ventured to the Gagosian in Beverly Hills for the performances by Dan Colen with choreographer Dimitri Chamblas...

As we approach Thanksgiving, it’s pretty awesome to be living in Los Angeles where the art scene gives us plenty to be thankful for besides cornbread stuffing and candied yams. Art at the Rendon: "Stories" took attendees into the lives of multiple characters in an...
David Kordansky Gallery’s opening this past Saturday featuring the work of Ivan Morley and Ricky Swallow was a full house--and well worthy of the audience. A line of cars built up to the gallery, making it clear from the get-go that Kordansky was an anticipated stop...

Maybe it’s a not-so-spooky Halloween spell, but the October art scene was hauntingly captivating this weekend. The Brewery Art Walk offered a plethora of pleasures all weekend, including "Route, Rut, Lane: A Karkhana Collaboration" at Shoebox Projects, a mixed-media...
Is it wrong to feel like dancing on a school night? The gent sitting next to me didn’t even get to cross that bridge—he had to exit early for a drive out to Malibu on a school-related mission. But whatever you thought of Leon Bridges’ laid-back-going-on-languid set,...
As soon as the exhibition opened at DENK gallery last Saturday, the space circulated with a plethora of gallerygoers who attended to see the work of Renée Lotenero and Soo Kim—luckily we were amongst the crowd. Upon entrance into the first room, we were captivated...
