The Oracle w/ Eran Barnea @ TAG Gallery

Posted on September 9th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Eran Barnea presents us a confrontation of vanity in his welcomed exhibition as part of the Fall Reception at TAG Gallery.

Oxygen: A Jimmy Edgar Solo Show @ Vellum LA

Posted on September 2nd, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Jimmy Edgar introduces to us digital art forms which appropriately generate a positive critique of digital art itself at the Non-fungible token (NFT) art gallery Vellum LA.

‘Wall Ornament’ by Abraham Cone @ Mu Art Gallery

Posted on August 8th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Abraham Cone introduces to us the wordless idea of elusiveness to the intimacy of color tones with his terrific showing at Mu Gallery, Chicago.

Posted on July 22nd, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Sam Shoemaker Presents us an audacious entry into the world of fungi, one where each population has its distinct personality in seeking to grow at OCHI Projects.
