Chevy Great stuff from "Heroes for Autism"

Susan Brown, Marcy Deutsch, Stephanie Greenwald, Kevin Hosseini, Zoe Kakolyris, Casey Metcalfe, Kyle White at Smooth n Purdy Gallery October 10th - November 14th
Posted 10/4/09

I saw these artists when they were a part of "Heroes for Autism" a fund raiser for "Autism Speaks" at the Avalon in Hollywood. That was an extraordinary show and I can't wait to see what new works these artists have created since.  I regretted not buying a piece by Casey Metcalfe then, so I am hoping it will be there. This show is absolutely worth a visit. The work is both collectible and different from anything else out there. Not to mention it benefits an amazing cause. [more]

You showed some of these gorgeous watercolors before, Sam.  I wanted one then, I want one now.  I still can't afford them, or the fantastic video that went with them.  Why do you torture me so?  I'm a good person.  I work hard.  I really do think you should give me one of these because it will make my life so much better.   [more]

Liquiddetail2 Simply Great!

All I can say is … WOW!!!  Finally, a painter doing something more cutting edge.  They are big; they are beautiful; impossible to get bored while scanning these works.  And what the heck is going on in the corner? … Looks like a painting blending right into the wall – never seen that before, so in my book - a must see.  She is definitely a true artist and not a one trick pony. Like any master painter, they can really mix it up…and she does a great job in doing so.  If you are in LA... [more]

CARLOS RAMOS at Corey Helford Gallery August 15th - September 3rd
Posted 8/25/09

I went to India once.  Saw the most extreme poverty and heart-wrenching crush of humanity I’ve ever experienced and I really have no desire to go back.  Having said that, I did come away appreciating some weird intangibles about the place.  The monkeys that would steal your stuff, the betel spit, the orgasm of color, the waves of people and beggars, the poop.  Oh the poop.  People crapping in the streets, wading in rivers of excrement to fill their water jugs, crapping on the roadside an...

Abstractionists Unite! Curated by Nancy Chaikin at the Glendale College Art gallery, is a refreshing exhibition that provides a purely pleasurable and visually enriching experience. The exquisitely installed and thoughtful show of 13 artists successfully reveals the thriving nature of contemporary abstraction. Diverse in origin, generation, and gender, the artists' works in this show display a magnetic mixture of boldness and restraint, poetry and prose, an attention to formal concerns and conc... [more]

Patrick Wilson at SUSANNE VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES PROJECTS July 18th - August 29th
Posted 7/26/09

Flattened into digital printouts in glossy magazines or jpegs on the gallery’s website, Patrick Wilson’s paintings basically appear as slick, decorative corporate lobby art. They’d go perfectly over a Corbu couch with matching conference table. From a polite distance, you might fairly think their saturated color block abstractions and overlapping geometries were computer generated. Float one of each of the canvases many sharp-edged rectangular fields on a drifting digital track and they would make great screensavers.Which is to say, Wilso... [more]
