‘COMPLEX SYSTEMS’ by SALOMON EMQUIES @ Michael Kohn Gallery

Posted on August 19th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Salomon Emquies presents us with graceful imaginary forms against coarse yet subtlety delicate backgrounds with his recent opening Michael Kohn Gallery. His wise choice in providing a mysterious sense to each one, with their graceful extensions and pseudo-psychedelic movements which swirl in a way which is not taxing, gives us that taste of serenity. […]

‘Portals’ by Thomas Linder @ Praz-Delavallade

Posted on August 11th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Thomas Linder brings out a stunning testimony to industrial form with this layered and framed artistry in his Portals opening at Praz-Delavallade. It is in this bold direction, upon evaluating the possibilities of appreciating organic media from his childhood upbringing, where his efforts at affirming man’s rational powers at achieving a beautiful form beyond the […]

‘L.A. Oaxaca’ w/Demián Flores @ Craig Krull Gallery

Posted on August 4th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Demián Flores introduces us to the concept of nourishment with his corn concepts at his L.A. Oaxaca representation at Craig Krull Gallery. It is in this beautiful matrimony of indigenous subsistence with manufactured mass consumption which permits us to celebrate this novel extension of human imagination as it bounces along with these irreversible currents between […]

‘Out of the Blue’ by Jonathan Smith @ Danziger Gallery

Posted on July 28th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Jonathan Smith irradiates a sublimely novel idea of water with his confident expression and variegation of the concept throughout his photography compositions at Danziger Gallery with his new opening Out of the Blue. His ability to treat with such distinction the idea of water and its apparent blandness with an overwhelming presence imbues with […]

‘It’s a Colorful World’ by Sarit Halo @ Tierra Del Sol Gallery

Posted on July 14th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

In what can be best described as silly, Ms. Sarit Halo introduces us the vibrancy and sweetness of bright colors at her It’s a Colorful World opening at Tierra Del Sol Gallery. It is in the unabashed enthusiasm in embracing a wonderful view of life – that of necessary levity in brightening the mind’s eye […]

Martha Alf @ Michael Kohn Gallery

Posted on July 7th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Michael Kohn Gallery introduces to us a post-humous opening of Martha Alf’s, titled Opposites and Contradictions. The artistic statement cannot help but be fully realized with the most banal and bare necessities being edified so highly. For sardonicism? Of course not. For levity. And it is in this installation of humor within fine arts which […]

“Double Take” by Farbod Elkaei @ Hamzianpour & Kia Gallery Art Review

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

Farbod Elkaei introduces us to a new perspective on geometrical form, with a concentration on gradient in color and measure with his “Double Take” opening at Hamzianpour & Kia Gallery. His art is one that provides a discernible contrast in the shapes which have such certain completeness in their order, yet are allowed to act […]

‘Forage’ Group Show @ Dorado806

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

Dorado806 presented a wonderful array of artworks ranging from sculpture to mixed media in well-proportioned scales. We have an eclectic display of what can constitute a favorable plurality of elemental artworks which can fit in very neat and narrow spaces, to imbue it with an organic effort – a return to Earthly simplicity.   Not […]

‘Lifetimes that Broke the Earth’ by Ishi Glinsky @ Chris Sharp Gallery

Posted on June 17th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Ishi Glinksy brings out a fully ripened indigenous burst of beauty with a confidently dazzling display of textures and forms with his ‘Lifetimes that Broke the Earth’ opening at Chris Sharp Gallery. The appropriate grander of the scale of the works breathes even more animated strength to the experience of a positive wonder through the […]

‘Heatwork’ by Nicole Ondre @ Tanya Leighton Gallery

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

Nicole Ondre demonstrates a fascinating effort at self-reliant form with her ceramic sculptures at Tanya Leighton Gallery. There is a sincere daring, and therefore a necessary approbation, for her spontaneous glasseous forms inspired by knots and her affirmation of what is a beautiful shape and color.   It is in this plasticity where the soft […]
