Mr. Ryan Flores presents us a quintessential idea of cornucopia with his Fruit Vendor opening at Moskowitz Bayse. The ceramic media plays with the idea of vegetation, and the kind which nourishes the body with vitamin richness. This richness is demonstrated with the playfulness of the colors the artist can bring out, as well as […]

Meanwhile, at Nino Meir, we have a similar sculptural exertion in the botanical, this time as a remedy of doldrum vanity in Mr. Tony Matelli’s Arrangements. For what else is floral décor but a means of imbuing a vacuous space with vacuole splendor? And yet, does plant life display a means or an ends? Shouldn’t […]

In the discourse on solids in the arts, we have a splendid demonstration of elegance, grace, and nature in the works of Ms. Rakuko Naito @ Shoshana Wayne Gallery. Juxtaposed to her ensemble of cosmically-woven textured papers, Mr. Tadaaki Kuwayama has positioned his artwork toward a serious meditation on the idea of space. The totality […]

Long Distance by Martin Boyce invites us to appreciate an industrial elegance with the media he employs in most of his exhibition pieces at Tanya Bonadkar Gallery. The sense of brutal with metal, due to its hardness in form, is alleviated by a sense of delicate appearance in the telephone communication device consistently presented in […]

Ms. Dan Lam and Mr. Jan Kaláb present to us a healthy medley of scintillating sculpture and canvas with a preciously meticulous treatment of color in their dual opening at Hashimoto Contemporary.

Yet it is from this thought of boisterous […]

The daring simplicity of Mr. Neil Goodman at Carl Hammer Gallery informing the perceiver with transcendental forms which provide substance to balance in achieving the idea of solid is a profound truth to the world-idea of the visible form and its necessity in achieving naturally healthy perceptions of the world, or an ideal correspondence to […]

Debbie MacAfee’s artwork represents a beautiful idea of nativity in the media she has created and is now exhibiting at Craig Krull Gallery. The discernable airiness in the thinness of the material, and harmoniously earthy color tones, gives us the impression of lightness, of a natural goodness which is far removed from anxieties of possession.

Mr. Alex Weinstein provides a triumphant exhibition of rapturous Natural forms which extend into the appropriately fantastic with his Case for Beauty art opening at Leslie Sacks Gallery.
