For the past two years, Los Angeles based painter Lola Gil has been creating a series of oil paintings inspired by a journey into the subconscious. Outside In Doors is a story of exploration, discovery, enlightenment and growth, as well as messages of comfort and reassurance from
Over the weekend, San Francisco-based artists Kelly Tunstall and Ferris Plock (aka KeFe) unveiled their latest collaboration, 'Closer', at Spoke Art SF. Featuring new works conceived during their residency at the renowned de Young Museum, the artist duo explore the space between
Augustine Kofie continues to push and explore technologies and strategies to build up space within his work, and in each series he poses himself a new problem to be solved. Build From Memory began with the challenge of how to produce dynamic movement from a stable, static (horizontal/vertical) foundation. The answer came in the form diagonal “breaks”, perspectival lines that produce volume, protrusion, immersion, and depth in the horizontal-vertical system.

Hecox's latest collection of work reflects the artist's fascination with the terrain and topography of the Southwest, as these works on paper serve as a visual link to his recent road trip through this area of the US. Each work was created from sketches and memories of his travels, reflecting the character of these often arid and open spaces. Hecox explores the cultural past of the area with reductive works that leave us with whispers and hints at history. Abandoned cars and structures, add to a sense of a long past, here reduced to clean and clear lines and form.
Carlos Ramirez returned home this January when he debuted his latest solo at New Image Art Gallery with 'Complejo de Cristo y Vampiros'. As one half of the artistic duo, The Date Farmers, Ramirez continues upon his signature Mexican American Folk aesthetic to create vibrant paintings brimming with social and political commentary. Native Americans blend with Coca-cola logos and sobbing clowns are combined with religious symbols that challenge the viewer to seek

There's all sorts of cuteness happening at Antler Gallery this month. Erika Sanada and Calvin Ma take inspiration from their own feelings of social anxiety (past and present) to sculpt beautiful
