‘Back to Earth’ Group Show @ Roberts Projects

Posted on August 1st, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

In an amazing display of works veritably earthed with their media, Roberts Projects exhibits a remarkable display of taste in the proper affirmation of what precedes and transcends man’s temporal power. For it is typical to be gridlocked in the labyrinth of civilized order, to lose sight in the conscious mind of the timeless. For […]

‘Eyes, Mouth, Wings’ ft. Marty Williams @ North Loop West

Posted on July 23rd, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

In the new exhibit opening by North Loop West, Marty Williams shines in the positive refinement of craftsmanship involved in the detailing of such a complexity of intricate media detailing a successful addition of high art. For that danger, that risque, of assembling the medley of his, most noticeably, wood, along with the delicate parchment […]

‘Reading the Flame(s)’ by Alan Pulner @ NOON Projects

Posted on July 17th, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Alan Pulner revisits the themes of queerness neglected in an age of such global acceptance  In his Reading the Flame(s) exhibition at NOON Projects. In the ideas he shares, there is a constancy in the playfulness of the word-choice “flame”; with its characteristic derision of the “flaming f__got” he depicts in media with an […]

‘Under The Lazy Sun’ Group Show @ La BEAST Gallery

Posted on July 8th, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

With an exhibition of a plurality of artists representing a summertime mood at La BEAST Gallery, two capture the success of that aire of levity; an attitude absent the lachrymose.  Aaron Johnson’s, in the words of the gallery owner, “psychedelic intimacy”, portrays an originality in the viscosity of colors which he shapes into abstract beauty. […]

‘Caribbean Stages’ by Alexandre Arrechea @ Simard Bilodeau Contemporary

Posted on June 16th, 2025 by Joseph A. Hazani

Señor Alexandre Arrechea provides an idea of honor, dare I say love, of his native Cuba with a testimony to its inescapable coral reefs with his Caribbean Stages exhibition at Simard Bilodeau Contemporary. His sculptural history translates an experience and relation to space which moves the optics of the viewer with his oils and pronounced […]

‘Visions Unfold’ by Richard Chow @ SubTerra Gallery

Posted on September 19th, 2024 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Richard Chow has hit it out of the park at SubTerra Gallery. In a further creative extension for fine art photography, with the inventive foreplay of ultraviolet sunbathing to magically enchant the silverscreen of archival pigment from a sturdier age, in a time that relished the timeless, the fine artist has typified his true […]

‘The Touch, the Amulet and the Saltation’ by Sadie Benning @ Vielmetter Los Angeles

Posted on May 3rd, 2024 by Joseph A. Hazani

Sadie Benning introduces a plasticity to paint with their choice colors and figures in their opening at Vielmetter Los Angeles. The, if I dare say, “taffiness”, of the experience of their art, provides a sumptuous mastication upon the mind’s eye in experiencing a novelty of beauty. And it is here with these abstract movements of […]

‘The Calligraphy of Absence’ ft. Pilar Agüero-Esparza at Patricia Sweetow Gallery

Posted on April 13th, 2024 by Joseph A. Hazani

Must the civilized be pretentious? Why cannot originality be found in the organic warmth of natural mistakes of rough lines to a human eye? And yet, are leather and leather tones, which is so geometrically stretched to bring more efforts of a returning amidst the civilized splash of regimentation dimension. Perhaps it is in measure […]

‘Role Play’ by Claire Chambless @ Carlye Packer

Posted on April 5th, 2024 by Joseph A. Hazani

In an exceptional exhibition of a radical if not avante-garde representation of the tension between life and death, Ms. Claire Chambless proudly presents bold sculptural forms with a plethora of material, especially hydroxyapatite – the base material found in bone – with a subtle affirmation of living. It is in this challenging yet exhilarating representation […]

‘Shelf Life’ by Ry Roklen @ Wilding Cran Gallery

Posted on March 29th, 2024 by Joseph A. Hazani

Shelf Life introduces onto the world a conception of preservation which helps better refine our understanding of consumption with the process and ideas expressed by Mr. Ry Rocklen at Wilding Cran Gallery.
