In Mr. Antonio Adriano Puleo’s Una Cosa È Una Cosa at Lowell Ryan Projects, we are confronted with a positive query on the stature of originality when working with geometrical precepts. The circle, the square, the parallelogram, even the line, have all been done before. What then, to make of a work which composes them […]

When Weeds Bloom portrays a collection of artworks by Mr. Pieter Jennes at Nino Meir Gallery that, in a word, achieve the difficult feat of balancing the mirthful with the somberness of neutral gray tones. We do not have an ecstasy of jubilee, yet we simultaneously do not have dreariness in the universal setting of […]

In a presentation of a clear extension at originality, Ms. Franziska Goes at Moskowitz Bayse Gallery demonstrates to us the concept of self-reliance in forming a transcendental object through her self-reflectance upon the Natural elements. It is in her amalgam of Natural form with a vexing balancing act of imbuing her compositions with technical elements, […]

Ms. Alissa Warshaw at Matter Studio Gallery presents us a new form of sensual originality with her opening exhibition Intangible Matter. The idea of concentricity brings with it a sense of focus, and with focus we understand a consistency in aim. Yet what aim is Ms. Warshaws? Her modest compositions – both in scale and […]

What is it about the desert that speaks mystery to the artist? The sun-basked horizons by Ms. Madeleine Tonzi at Hashimoto Contemporary Los Angeles are magnetic in their presentation of an original gradient of purple and pink tones while delicately, yet appropriately, abstractly positioning geometrical and man-made constructions to give us an inviting, yet still […]

Does every new beginning come from some other beginning’s end? In the geometrical reduction of color and lines, Mr. Cruzvillegas triumphs in exalting the necessity for simplicity at Regen Projects. This is especially poignant in our contemporary digital discombobulation at times, where the cloudy shrouds of servers can entangle us into becoming slaves where we […]

Mr. Walter Erra Hubert demonstrates, in his own words, the patterning of the geometric with the organic in his new exhibition Promising Skies at Building Bridges Art Exchange. What does the geometric, however, signify in his compositions? Throughout, amidst the plasticity of his abstract forms, are rectilinear contours which not so much etch but stamp […]

Ms. Tori Wranes unleashes a strong representation of her material craftsmanship in her Mussel Tears opening at Shulamit Nazarian. What is most spectacular in her formations is in some balance of the serenity of misty oceanic sensations and its titillation of the visual senses. I have been a fan of the extension of the tactile […]

What are the merits of originality? It is often-times neglected in the fine arts world to ponder what the motivation is to begin a work of art towards its artistic abandonment. That, truly, the goal of the extension of the artisan into the beyond, towards generating media which is imperceptible to all other human subjects, […]

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry claimed that perfection is achieved when there is nothing more to take away. How, do we then confront Mr. Davis’s approach to the Sonoran desert with his photography? No doubt the demands for contemporary photography is to consistently diverge from the amateur, now with photo-processing capabilities reserved historically for true savants. A […]
