‘On Fire’ by Tony Marsh @ Patricia Sweetow Gallery

Posted on November 10th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Tony Marsh scintillates in a brilliantly eruptive display of ceramic earthenware at Patricia Sweetow Gallery. It is not an explosion which imposes erratica but instead is a wondrously graceful volcanic finish to his dynamic danger in working with the kiln. In his flamebrush master strokes, we are given a confidence in the inner mysterious […]

‘Cadences’ by Ha Tae IM @ Helen J Gallery

Posted on November 3rd, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

On a meditation on passing, Ms. Ha Tae-Im showers the world with a wonderfully inventive display of harmony in the flow of time with her ‘Cadences’ opening at Helen J Gallery. This balance with its unequivocal passing is beyond preconceived notions of a static equilibirum perspective; yet it is precisely in this idea of balance […]

‘Sleepy Hollow’ by Edgar Ramirez @ Chris Sharp Gallery

Posted on October 15th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Edgar Ramirez invites us into a perspective of beauty which requires a refined taste to admire. The industrial ruggedness, unabashed in its attempts at representing the frictions of civilized fate and the invisible ordering of cargo and the human ignorance of achieving good things. It is in this coarseness at Chris Sharp Gallery which needs […]

‘Giant Country’ by William Bradley @ Lowell Ryan Projects

Posted on October 6th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Lowell Ryan Projects presents us with a wonderful introduction to geometric form with their ‘Giant Country’ open by William Bradley. We are immersed with otherwise perfunctory emblems to construction exactness; even though the coarse approximations bring out more of the concept of order than the decision to be proud of man’s capable of exacting completeness […]

Sean Scully: ‘LA Deep’ @ Lisson Gallery

Posted on September 30th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Sean Scully presents a relaxation to paint with his daring abstract opening LA Deep at Lisson Gallery. It is in what Manly P. Hall noted “the phenomenally divisible parts” of the objects in each of the compositions which imposes such stress in creating a new, original, dawning light on tried-and-true concepts in abstract fine art. […]

‘Magaxat’ by Rudik Ovsepyan @ REISIG AND TAYLOR CONTEMPORARY

Posted on September 23rd, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Rudik Ovespyan introduces a new concept of red and an extension of a self-reliant media form with his archival opening Magaxat at Reisig and Taylor Contemporary. The modest scale and subject of his paintings permits the subject to absorb the stark contrasts of a sentimental pigment. This is one which is precious to Armenian […]

‘Bulb and Seed’ by Charles Hickey @ Monta Vista Projects

Posted on September 15th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Charles Hickey explores new industrial techniques towards fine artistry with his introduction of still life forms with 3D print penmanship with his Bulb and Seed opening at Monta Vista Projects. His fastidious and dangerous attempts successfully extend originality in the fine arts through the comfort of utilizing a technique for polishing or finishing off […]

‘From Joy to Joy’ by Teresa Baker @ de boer Gallery

Posted on September 8th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

In a poised showing of artwork which is brighter and bolder than her typical objectives, Ms. Teresa Baker further renders an appropriate quiet relaxation with her forms and media choices with her opening at de boer Gallery. It is in this difficult balance of a personal extension of bold colors with the cerebral attunement the […]

The 36th Parallel ft. Liz Miller Kovacs && Uma Rani Iyli @ Track 16 Gallery

Posted on September 1st, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Ms. Liz Miller Kovacs introduces a concept of waste, of misplaced expectations with her testimony of the Feminine Earth polluted with the poisons of industrial exposure during the refined ’36th Parallel’ opening at Track 16 Gallery. That the progenitive Earth and its recycling of growth – regeneration – can be corrupted with the extension of […]

‘Black Migration’ w/ Jamelle Wright Sr. ft. Ramekon O’Arwisters @ Patricia Sweetow Gallery

Posted on August 25th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

In a dazzling affair of sculptural affirmation, Mssrs. Jamelle Wright Sr. and Ramekon O’Arwisters demonstrate a self-reliant outward expression of African-American culture at Patricia Sweetow Gallery, in a way which mollifies with distinct paragonal perspectives of restless energies. For to be clear, the affirmation of life presupposes the affirmation of fine art – of that […]
