‘Her Paris’ @ Denver Art Museum
(Through January 18th) The Denver Art Museum has an exhibition titled Her Paris which showcases female French Impressionists.

‘Mourning Wood in Liminal Dawn’ by Christian Rex van Minnen @ Richard Heller Gallery
(Through December 23rd) Plato was generally anti-artistic for the reason the arts, while rendering reality in an aesthetic manner, can distort it in such a way that its misrepresentation is duplicitous, merely serving the ends of the artist’s wishful ambitions for how reality appears as and not buttressing the affirmation of the human condition.

Kim Dingle at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects Art Review
The artist Kim Dingle housed 4 exhibition series at Susan Vielmetter, with the best works radically experimenting with the audience’s foreground space and investigating the nature of aesthetic reproduction. When speaking of “reproduction”, it is meant that the nature of originality with art, or with anything for that manner, is examined. We take a picture,

The Good Luck Gallery | Tieken Gallery LA Review
The Good Luck Gallery had an eerie exhibition from the artist Art Moura. The art tilted towards being slightly disheartening but still welcoming to interrogation with the eyes. The Good Luck Gallery normally does an exquisite job with its space, taking advantage of its high ceilings to cover every possible scope of eyesight with an
