‘Ripple Effect’ By Dan Lam & Jan Kalab @ Hashimoto Contemporary

Posted on October 21st, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Ms. Dan Lam and Mr. Jan Kaláb present to us a healthy medley of scintillating sculpture and canvas with a preciously meticulous treatment of color in their dual opening at Hashimoto Contemporary. The reflectances, specifically from Ms. Lam’s waxy-fun, provides an interesting juxtaposition to the austerely planar yet nonetheless curvilinear treatment of colors by Mr. […]

Jeff Hirst @ Addington Gallery

Posted on October 7th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Jeff Hirst presents us with a meditation on certainty in his staunchly thickly-wooded compositions at Addington Gallery. His examinations on the essence of structure gives us tremendous elasticity in the idea, from the gradients of paint thickness to the boisterousness of certain shapes in the composition. Yet it is from this thought of boisterous […]

‘Through a Different Lens’ by Neil Goodman @ Carl Hammer Gallery

Posted on October 4th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

The daring simplicity of Mr. Neil Goodman at Carl Hammer Gallery informing the perceiver with transcendental forms which provide substance to balance in achieving the idea of solid is a profound truth to the world-idea of the visible form and its necessity in achieving naturally healthy perceptions of the world, or an ideal correspondence to […]

‘Desert Sanctum’ by Debbie MacCafee @ Craig Krull Gallery

Posted on September 25th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Debbie MacAfee’s artwork represents a beautiful idea of nativity in the media she has created and is now exhibiting at Craig Krull Gallery. The discernable airiness in the thinness of the material, and harmoniously earthy color tones, gives us the impression of lightness, of a natural goodness which is far removed from anxieties of possession. […]

‘The Case for Beauty’ by Alex Weinstein @ Leslie Sacks Gallery

Posted on September 16th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Mr. Alex Weinstein provides a triumphant exhibition of rapturous Natural forms which extend into the appropriately fantastic with his Case for Beauty art opening at Leslie Sacks Gallery. His sagacity is in providing us with a florid of imaginative color to imbue our senses with something more than than an ocean-time memory, but one of […]

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. His aim at representing, though certainly in a mischievous manner, the haloed self-gratification of personalities creating their own electromagnetic vortices of grandeur, requires one to openly examine the health of such a now normative […]

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. The question of eternity is raised when work that is purposefully commercial ergo transactional is contemporaneously celebrated; when not the aim of permanent goodness is being achieved […]

‘TMI’ by Andrew Kuo @ Tanya Leighton

Posted on August 28th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Tanya Leighton introduces us to a new sense of ordering with Mr. Andrew Kuo’s TMI opening. The desire to represent a vivid palette admixed with cerebral musings characteristically portrays New York Fine Arts in the best light. Without being too clever, Mr. Kuo is able to achieve a level of difficulty in needing to balance […]

‘Sculpture’ @ La Louvre

Posted on August 19th, 2022 by Joseph A. Hazani

Sculpture at LA Louver presents us with a superbly eclectic blend of sculptural media which make concerted efforts at self-reliance in their craftsmanship. The media range from ceramic, wood, metal, stone, porcelain, in a range of intricacies in presenting what is best described as attempts at creating the beautiful idea. That permanently memorable extension which […]

‘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. Considerate of the glaring impositions oil paints can provide to a canvas, Mr. Cone elects to move toward a more refined consideration of the beautiful idea. This explains his intensity […]
