Chapter 2: A Long Way Home by Suwichada Busamrong-Press @ Reisig and Taylor Contemporary

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

In a resoundingly confident demonstration of the color yellow at Reisig and Taylor Contemporary, Ms. Suwichada Busamrong-Press resonates with her intimate memories of her past life in Thailand, particularly with her originally daring application of turmeric to fine art. It is through this medicinal application from her father where sentiment and beauty coalesce, to, with […]

‘Faith in Doubt’ Sean Sullivan @ Chris Sharp Gallery

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

The movements of artworks by Mr. Sean Sullivan in his new opening at Chris Sharp Gallery is one which is compelled into the mystery of fate. It is here where the need for experiencing color and figure, as well as space, are coalesced into the medium of a serious poise in grace. For with grace, […]

‘Storyteller Yellow’ by Jiha Moon @ Shoshana Wayne Gallery

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

Ms. Jiha Moon brings out the most brilliant ideas of yellow in her Storyteller Yellow opening at Shoshana Wayne Gallery. In not simply the actual representation of the color, but as well as its distant relation to the echoes of her personal experience and pride as an Asian-Am woman. Through the outstandingly gorgeous ceramics, there […]

Anthem, Arena, Sanctuary by Joe Koppal @ Lauren Powell Projects

Posted on November 21st, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

What is mesmerizing to find in Mr. Joe Koppal’s artworks presented in his Anthem, Arena, Sanctuary opening at Lauren Powell Projects is their proud independence. If there is one word to define the American Spirit, it is precisely this; and Mr. Koppal’s exuberant free spirit paints the mind with such medium of mania that we are left […]

‘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 […]
