Greengold_question__by_dilo_pxl The Art of di.Lo is  
by
diLo - Eugenia di Lorenzo at World Art Foundation June 7th, 2009 - June 14th, 2009
Posted 6/9/09

The Art of di.Lo is Matter, light, sign, integrated in an original figure of painting. Her research is vibrant: the colours are tactile, the matter is impregnated with meaning, that alludes to a metaphysical transcendence. Mixed media canvases that become a metaphor for emotional spheres, of memories, of inner journeys marked by the traces of oneiric colours that create fascinating and charming atmospheres. Yes Contemporary, but with a very mystical aftertaste. An art in art, an inherent dualism that makes... [more]

A stunning selection of photographs are displayed in this cool, new art space. Perfect lighting and a warm atmosphere enhance the beauty of these amazing pieces. I found myself mesmerized by all of them, particularly those by Simon Larbalestier. Do not miss this satisfying show! [more]

Posted 6/11/10

Judith is the reason to see this show. His assemblages-collages are acid-etched memories peeled right from the soul of an exhaustive artist. He's always there, Judith, unshakeable, wise, but mostly, as light showing us the way to something funny and beating and alive. The relatively small amount of represented work secures my feelings about how good he really is as I can't remember much from the rest of the show. I wish they'd collect his miniature houses and make an entire neighborhood of them. I... [more]

Edward Walton Wilcox at Merry Karnowsky Gallery April 25th, 2009 - May 23rd, 2009
Posted 4/30/09

Swung by Merry Karnowsky Gallery on Saturday night for her debut solo show with rising Los Angeles artist Edward Walton Wilcox. Wilcox took full advantage of Merry's new window facing the always busy LaBrea Ave by installing a spinning skull sculpture (see above). Amazing. A true traffic stopper of a front window install. Don't miss this show! Wilcox's work is simply haunting and the sepia-toned gothic edge to his new body of work is more pronounced than ever before. The two Medieval altarpieces were b... [more]

Edward Walton Wilcox at Merry Karnowsky Gallery April 25th, 2009 - May 23rd, 2009
Posted 4/28/09

Portentous but never pretentious, the remote and insular visions of loneliness that manifest throughout Edward Walton Wilcox's work are on full display in this overview of recent paintings. "When the anxieties of this world become too severe," he admits, "I create for myself . . . a reflection pool for the mind. It is there that I withdraw to the twilight fields and amber vistas of my dreams." All right, maybe just a tad pretentious, but Wilcox has talent and imagination for miles, so he's excu... [more]

Los Angeles, CA. April 6, 2009 – Merry Karnowsky is thrilled to present Edward Walton Wilcox’s first solo exhibition with the gallery from April 25 through May 23.  Wilcox may be the latest addition to Karnowsky’s impressive stable of artists, including Shepard Fairey, Camille Rose Garcia, Todd Schorr and Kent Williams but he’s not completely new to the scene.  Matt Gleason, editor and founder of Coagula Art Journal, recently wrote, “Edward Walton Wilcox is painting humanity’s self-ind...

Posted 3/12/09

Today when I walked into this exhibit I stopped dead in my tracks and just grinned.  It's so shiny and pretty.  The first part is mainly... wall art, I guess is the best term?  There's painting and more modern things I don't know the name for and this crazy cool metal "fabric" made of alcohol labels.  It ripples along the wall and it's great to get up close and walk along its length. Makes it flow. The second part is a maze of videos, which was definitely the more crowded part of the exhib... [more]

Posted 2/26/09

I was fortunate to meet Beili on the opening night of her exhibit at the newly located Tarryn Teresa Gallery.  She generously gave me a personal guided tour of each of her pieces in the show.  Beili's Chinese ancestry, its myths, and spirituality, is a dominant presence in her current work.  Before writing the article, I promised to give her a call.  Our telephone conversation took place before the final week of her exhibit.  Prior to our conversation, I had drafted her article in several ways....

Went to Switch last week and was inspired enough to actually purchase a small part of the Cubiculum installation. Highly recommend this to anyone that likes to think about the way our society works today.   Here's more info: http://tinyurl.com/6mwljr [more]

I helped put the video installation for this show together, and I think it's something that shouldn't be missed!  Also, if you haven't been to the up-and-coming Gallery Row in Downtown, you can get aquainted by going to this show on Friday!  [more]

Otto Youngers at LA Artcore Brewery Annex November 1st, 2008 - November 30th, 2008
Posted 11/11/08

The subject matter is profound, yet whimsical, the wood work is amazing, and the total experience of the show is transporting.  LA badly needs more shows of this caliber, and more shows by Otto Youngers.  I was very surprised to see that in the Northwest, his home, he has had fewer showings than in Asia!  What's up with that, Land of Trees?  I can't recommend this show and this artist highly enough.

Los Angeles, CA (Artslant) September 16, 2008 --  Wilcox's second solo exhibition in Los Angeles this year, "Crimes of Romance," is a breakout exhibit featuring the gamut of Wilcox's diverse and dark imaginations, most of which never publicly displayed before, including paintings, drawings, installation and sculpture. A follow up from his March show, "Are You Going With Me?" in West Hollywood, "Crimes" leaves the world of tabloid imagery and exposes his darkest dreaming; hand-carved Gothic altarpieces so...
