‘Bespokeology’ by Julia Couzens & ‘Tipping Point’ by Sarah Amos @ Patricia Sweetow Gallery
In that fun of fabric, the need to extend its originality in human experience – what else is the expression? – welcomes the happy exuberance of Ms. Julia Couzens with her opening ‘Bespokeology’ at Patricia Sweetow Gallery. With petite (for my taste) compositions, dressed with other-worldly outlandishness, the demur from rebellion is perfectly balanced with

‘Will I Live Again’ by Justin Ortiz @ Babst Gallery
In the honest effort at representing true originality, a healthy break from reality is provided to us amply by Mr. Justin Ortiz, with his Babst Gallery opening show ‘Will I Live Again’. In the artist’s statement, with an unprovoked Yes, there is the sufficient base to the priming of a spectacular foray into imagination.

‘MINDBENDERS: Layered in Unexpected Truths’ by Shar Coulson @ Nuart Gallery
In the eclectic explosiveness on the canvas, Ms. Shar Coulson @ Nuart Gallery introduces a new joie de vivre to daily life. A motivation that is possible to ignite in that sense of thirst in the animation, bursting with dashing attributes of paint stroke and media (both acrylic and oil.) There is no arithmetic, nor

‘Horizon West’ by Arshile Gorky @ Hauser & Wirth
Mr. Arshile Gorky at Hauser & Wirth represents experimenting with surface in that added neural plasticity of the fine arts gyrating with the whirs of the industrial society, where the seeker of true beauty causes the appearance of more original form, away from the stasis of photorealism. With the medley of sketches in pencil and

‘Source Material’ by Vince Skelly @ Craft Contemporary
Mr. Vince Skelly presents with his more than organic representation of beauty with his woodcraft, texture – the idea of the originalities of surface to the material form; while working strictly with wood, exhibiting at Craft Contemporary. And what a potpourri of judgments in pleasure to the eye! For it is with that pleasing objective

‘Barley Patch II’ by Dustin Hodges @ Sebastian Gladstone Gallery
The harvest has in its idea collection. To gather which presupposes a giving end. Why the upside down saturnine beak? Is not community supreme? Or is there a loftier posture to present within the seasoned sun? The tonality of the hues – which brighten a slick richness in the right-minded choice of yellow which ushers

‘Acts of Surface’ ft. Edith Baumann @ 7811 Gallery
So – the concept of beauty is to be extended to include ideas of, not motion, but order? For, there is stasis included in each of Ms. Baumann’s compositions – in a perception of rigor which is not suffocating. It is subdued – yet still to associate the vivid in her works with rigid is

Hélio Oiticica @ Lisson Gallery
In what can be considered a minimalist effort – an aim at exploring a reduction (so renowned by the mid-20th century abstract expressionists) – Lisson Gallery presents the Brazilian Hélio Oiticica’s earlier works; with that dangerous experimentalism because of its lacking awe to the common eye. The affirmation of an artist that is moving beyond

‘1970-1977’ by Robert Duran @ Karma Gallery
It is a burst, it is. A burst of color. The colorful is a wonderful splash. Inescapable from that healthy gravitational pull. Not into lust, but into love. Such affirmation of grandeur and therefore of magnitude with Robert Duran at Karma Gallery is to captivate the senses into that rarity of space. It is to

‘The Morning After the Fire Swept Through’ by Ashwini Bhat @ Shoshana Wayne Gallery
Aswhini Bhat has a revelation. In the ‘17 Northern California Tubbs fire, where her habitat, if not sanctuary, was torched, through that natural procession of more than the mere change – but one of cosmic significance which coincided with her own movement; yet unguided they both are? There the artist is free to authenticate the
