‘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 […]

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 […]

‘Suspirium’ by James Busby @ Lowell Ryan Projects

Posted on June 2nd, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

James Busby shines at representing finery, of creating the instance of refined in his artful compositions eloquently exhibited in his ‘Suspirium’ opening at Lowell Ryan Projects. His graphite completeness breathes a new idea to stencil formation in the visual arts. A confidence in extension with such delicate ornamentations of gentle completion. We have the human […]

‘Refugio en Las Flores’ by Kiara Aileen Machado @ Launch LA

Posted on May 26th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

Ms. Kiara Aileen Machado triumphs in a colorful representation – indeed celebration – of indigenous Central American life with a mysteriously subtle glee in all of her jungle ideas with her Refugio en Las Flores opening at Launch LA presented by Luna Anaïs Gallery. I say glee because of the playful suggestion which is subtlety […]

‘Still Wet’ Bedri Baykam @ Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts

Posted on May 20th, 2023 by Joseph A. Hazani

What is the impetus of the creative burst if not to add to life? And what a simplistic statement in achieving such an extension that we have with the new editions of Bedri Baykam’s work at Gloria Delson Contemporary Art. The eloquent statements of beauty provide that staunch confidence yet without a sense of pretentiousness […]
