Mr. Bryan Ida gives us a beautiful meditation on human intervention in natural forces with his Deep opening at Billis Willliams Gallery. The prima facie cryptic ideal which involves precious wildlife and terraneous forms imposed with geometrical rectilineal forms is best understood as the rational extension of the human mind onto a world which forever […]

Hyun Ae Kang introduces to us novelty in the concept of texture with her Voice of The Sacred exhibition at Shatto Gallery. Her abundance of styles provides a satisfaction with not simply the licks off the canvas, but of smears, of glistens, of intensities in simplicity as well as in ornamentation. Hers is a delicious […]

What does it mean to harvest? To reap what one has sowed. In this necessarily positive fulfillment, Mr. David Hicks brings to market a delectable offering of pious meditation on the herbage fulfilled in his Central Coastal California nativity at Diane Rosenstein Gallery. It is in this honest toil towards producing what is necessary for […]

The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City provides a wonderful demonstration of the availability of good taste across the United States. The museum’s permanent collection gives us strong concepts of beauty, particularly of the geometrical variety, which transcend the more generic intuition of what is a beautiful image as we receive it from […]

Paul Cezanne’s retrospective at The Art Institute of Chicago displays many of his later yearly works. These works demonstrate a noteworthy transition in the continuity of the Western Fine Arts Tradition, away from scenes of intense and vivid religiosity towards the mundane and bromidic.

Mr. Jonathan Edelhuber at Over the Influence Gallery in downtown Los Angeles poses an assertive stance of fun with the concept of skull form to help us bring a new idea of beauty with endless permutations. The real fun is in how the artist makes use of what is typically reminiscent of boneyards, despotic totalitarian […]

Marc Breslin introduces to the world a daring vote of simplicity with his ‘Veils’ exhibition at Anna Zorina Gallery in Los Angeles. In challenging the convention of beauty as needing to be colorful, the transcendental extension of his whites and blacks gives us a new idea, a better appreciation, of what oftentimes is negatively attributed […]

This is a monumental discovery in human refinement provided to the world by Jesse Wine via The Modern Institute. Towards causing greater understanding of the concept of smoothness: of a functionally active space which resonates an imperceptible notion of blue motion.   That the animation of the sculpture is through such suave assuaging, such attention […]

Ms. Ericka Lopez at Tierra Del Sol Gallery helps us imagine pottery which is beyond the idea of rigid, and instead imposes upon us plasticity to her forms with her Continuous Touch opening. The ability for the ceramic to be make so elastically configured, while still retaining use from its emptiness, gives the subject an […]
