‘Iterations’ by Mitra Fabian @ George Billis Gallery Los Angeles
Mitra Fabian at George Billis Los Angeles presents a delicacy of sculpture which titillates the mind with curiosity. These works undoubtedly capture a fastidiousness to her method while also appearing sensuously gentle in form. It is this gentleness, despite the defensive extensions of prickliness, which make the sculptures self-described as “organic”. And further to this

‘Aquatic Figments’ by Ryan Linke @ dnj Gallery
Ryan Linke at dnj Gallery possesses a spiritual intensity to personally reflective experiences of photography which elicit a sense of awe upon contemplation. These are works which are so intimately crafted, they are testimonies to the presence of the advancement of contemporary art. The genuine industrial technique required to concoct each piece, transcending mere photograph

‘Symbolic Gestures’ feat. Bruce Rubenstein @ Castelli Art Space
Bruce Rubenstein exhibits a trio of artwork at Castelli Art Space which are positively maddening in their tempestuousness. Not to be confused with poorer derivatives of abstract art, Mr. Rubenstein tattoos his compositions with a secretion of unwieldiness which is incomparable to those with an aim at duplication, rather than inspiration. It is this abundant

‘Radiate’ by Karen Amy Finkel Fishof @ dnj Gallery
Karen Amy Finkel Fishof presents a compendium of optimism in her latest opening titled Radiate at the always welcoming dnj Gallery. The works all speak to a unifying theme of enthusiasm for the creation active in all facets of common American society, irrespective of the discrepancies with an ideal human nature. Graciously, Ms. Finkel Fishof

‘The New Native’ by Raven Halfmoon @ Nino Mier Gallery
Raven Halfmoon exerts a strong affirmation of the indigenous “native” American spirit in her latest opening at Nino Mier titled The New Native. The splendor in accessing such contemporary art is in its admission to the universal effort of human culture towards the transcendent. It is toward reaching the unseen order, as William James described,

‘To Tarry in Prayer/To Terri in Prayer’ by Brittney Leanne Williams @ Zevitas Marcus
Brittney Leeanne Williams returns to Zevitas Marcus with a solo exhibition which is much more ambitious than her brief appearance a year ago yet still champions a unique style to the canvas. Instead of being demur with her aims and painting with more abstraction, Ms. Williams concentrates the work into a syncretization of biblical lore

‘Disruptive Spirit’ by Jennifer Joseph @ George Billis Gallery Los Angeles
Jennifer Joseph presents a triumph of contemporary fine art in her positive absorption of the Dionysian messiness of the City of Angels at George Billis Gallery. Self-explained as a reaction to her recent transition to the city, her artwork is uniformly cosmic in its pretensions and unveils a rapturous succulence of colors which is a

Paul Kempe in “Allure” @ GDCA Gallery
Paul Kempe exhibiting at GDCA Gallery continues a demonstration of innocent imagination in contemporary Los Angeles fine art. His crude childish forms, however, aim for a deeper message than superficial contentment. Indeed, they reach for abstract expressions of the human spirit, coyly presented to welcome us into a new mythology.   Human Evolution (title image) is a

‘FREEKS’ by Ryan Heshka @ Corey Helford Gallery
Ryan Heshka in Gallery 2 at Corey Helford Gallery provides a continuity in a recurring theme in Los Angeles contemporary art for nostalgia. Yet his reminiscence – which always has a weight of sentimentality to memory – is original in that it diverges from a more childish subjectivity which accompanies rudimentary artwork from children. He

LACP’s Sixth Annual Members’ Exhibition 2019 @ dnj Gallery
The sixth annual LACP Members Exhibition exercised a menagerie of contemporary fine art photography with noticeable attempts of expanding the concept of the photograph. Intrinsic to the art form is the occupation of a subjective lens, so unavoidably naked a proclamation to perceive what is focally intended by the artist. There have been obvious movements
