‘Open Sesame’ by Alexa Guariglia @ Moskowitz Bayes

The scene-shaping apparent to the large dimensions, by Alexa Guariglia at Moskowitz Bayes, is a weighing of monumental wonder in the traveening and careening which is blaring; yet soft in tone; celebratory but effecting a more cerebral end than the optically tantalizing. Felicity smartly defines the opening. The exhibition is rife with play. Certainly Open Sesame

Ed Moses @ William Turner Gallery

Amidst the expressions of brute abstraction, painted wily with the eclectic slathering to the quotidian doodle, there is the nevertheless spackle bonus found with Mr. Ed Moses‘ own cosmic fauna at William Turner Gallery. “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?”-Job 38:4 I say spackle because of the material benefit that adds more

Josh Cloud ‘Sunken Bust Shimmering Stone’ @ Megan Mulrooney Gallery

What do we have here? A Spasmoditicity of ceramic, patterned with the potpourri of boyish plastique, in the slobbering glaze which oozes a mystical figurine theatre of figurehead. It’s walking through Where the Wild Things Are without the teeth. The moving presence does not imbue immediately a savagerine discovery, a la Easter Island. The compact

‘Celestial Road Trip’ by Esther Pearl Watson @ Vielmetter LA

A charming amusement unfolds with quintessential felicity with Ms. Esther Pearl Watson‘s Celestial Road Trip at Vielmetter LA; a visual anthology of a friendly space-visitor affirming a pleasant universe. Indeed, the pink hues and visual idea itself, onto that illustration of childish pique; centers the convergence of innocent wonder of space-life with the appropriate fantasizing

‘Ongoingness’ @ Susan Vielmetter

Susan Vielmetter Los Angeles has a flurry of proud physical demonstrations as part of its Ongoingness exhibition this summer. There is a boldness in the danger of the artist’s beginning to agree to the completed end of true beauty in his or her judgment with that affirmation of material construction witnessed at the exhibition. That

‘Abstract Icons’ @ Leslie Sacks Gallery

Onto the daring to consider, Abstract Icons @ Leslie Sacks Gallery seeks to inform the world with those impressions which are courageous in contemplation. That reduction, away from storytelling, to affirm nevertheless the same weight of marvel – is a difficult cross to bear. The chasm in appreciation among the common sense world of instant

Kenzi Shiokava @ Nonaka-Hill

What is that activity which is best? To change implies there is a beginning which is not perfect; for to move to an end freely is to experience what is not present; for if the best were present, one would not need to move to begin with. Unchanging is the idea ubiquitously expressed by the

‘Argon Farfish’ ft. Benjamin L. Turner and Gabriel Slavitt @ Babst Gallery

Finesse comes to mind with the quietly placed, tucked away from the exhibition itself, pretending to be an afterthought in curation; not another abstraction; Tray Laughter by the artist Benjamin L. Turner; at Babst Gallery in Los Angeles. Where is the adoration for gentle yet precise? Such a transcendental move; with mind coordinating body with a delicate

‘Small World’ by Valiente Pastel @ Craig Krull Gallery

Class A, prime rib eye, cheek. What a stupendous bravado! The childish plastique of the original impression of the human body, and all the spasmodic configurations the artist no doubt will continue to persist in representing in time – for how many different varieties of hilarity are there with his pink? – are a delight

Kate Petley @ Von Lintell Gallery

In an impressive extension of original technique, the form of the media captured titilates the otherwise bromidic acrylic shapes. There is, in other words, a reflectance which is wholly novel in what is photographed; with the appropriate “holographic” in beautiful realization. The colors are exquisite. I affirm the ungraspable dynamos contained through the photographic process.
