Reviews

Markus Linnenbrink @ Sweetow

January 18, 2010

Markus Linnebrink doesn’t compose in the conventional sense; his works are a kind of visual archeology: an exploratory process in which the artist is both creator and excavator.

Mike Henderson @ Haines

January 15, 2010

Employing Cubism’s floating color planes and Abstract Expressionism’s turbulent paint and ambiguous ideographs/hieroglyphs, Henderson’s works generate their own force field.

Theodora Varnay Jones @ SJICA

December 21, 2009

Can Minimalism’s geometry, impenetrable surfaces and modular units be recast with feeling? Theodora Varnay Jones answers with an emphatic yes.

Richard Gilles @ B. Sakata Garo

December 13, 2009

Richard Gilles’ photo aren’t just about our wrecked economy. They document the void that exists between cities, suburbs, mountains and farmland.

David Wetzl @ JAYJAY

December 9, 2009

David Wetzl’s paintings attempt to make sense of the anarchy of human history. You may disagree with his positive forecast, but you can’t help but marvel at his inventiveness.

‘Afterlife’ @ SJICA

December 5, 2009

This show of “re-purposed” junk demonstrates how socially relevant art can spring from idiosyncratic, personal investigations and material invention.

Robert Brady @ B. Sakata Garo

November 25, 2009

Bob Brady works with the figure, but the figure hasn’t really his subject. Like a jazz instrumentalist who uses song structure for self-expression, Brady is all about stretching his materials.

Hattori and Essoe @ Swarm

November 21, 2009

With mixed-media light-boxes, Hattori comes to terms with war and memory. Essoe, using video, installation and still photography, addresses the existential conundrum of suburbia.

Peter Honig @ Mercury 20

November 16, 2009

Peter Honig uses the conventions of commercial photography to subvert the consumer desires with a style applies Dadist and Surrealist sensibilities to set-up photography.

Profile: Peter VandenBerge

November 11, 2009

There’s plenty of mystery in Peter VandenBerge’s elongated, primitive faces; but their punch comes from a distinct brand of ‘60s-era, Duchamp-influenced absurdism.

‘Keepers’ @ Skinner/Howard

November 1, 2009

The title of this show, curated by Aaron Petersen, suggests possession and certitude, but the works themselves traffic in mystery and ambiguity.

Phil Amrhein @ Axis Gallery

October 22, 2009

Many artists have stared at, painted and even feigned leaping into The Void. But few do so as energetically as Phil Amrhein.

Deborah Oropallo @ Wirtz & Gallery 16

October 5, 2009

These seductively posed apparitions drive us to question whether what we’re seeing. It is photography, painting or some new hybrid?

Rex Ray @ Gallery 16

September 27, 2009

Employing a boggling array of shapes, textures and colors, Rex Ray’s collages resemble mash-ups of ’50-style home décor motifs, extraterrestrial floral fantasies and symbolist imagery.

JENN SHIFFLET @ CHANDRA CERRITO

September 17, 2009

Jenn Shifflet’s paintings are like pools of light emanating from indeterminate sources. They exist in a brackish wash of terrestrial, aquatic and celestial atmospherics.

Filed Under: Reviews Tagged With: Chandra Cerrito, Jenn Shifflet

Joan Moment @ LIMN & JAYJAY

September 7, 2009

Joan Moment’s paintings suggest that we exist outside of time and space: that we are at once everywhere and nowhere — like stars and galaxies whose images are history before they even reach us.
