Art review: 'Portrait' at Thomas Solomon Gallery

Thomas Solomon Gallery jumps on the John Baldessari bandwagon with a smart, themed group show of Conceptual art from (mostly) the '60s and '70s. The exhibition is titled simply “Portrait,” but in tune with the questioning, contrary tone of the era, there is nary a face to be seen — in fact, there is hardly anything to see but text...   read more

Bart Exposito: “Bends” at Thomas Solomon Gallery

Painter Bart Exposito has been pushing forward in one, very specific direction for nearly a decade and almost every stage of the journey along the way has been compelling. And now, like a spelunker following a narrow passage in a cave only to burst through to a brilliant new chamber, he has brought forth a sumptuous new body of work that is also a logical extension of everything he has done to date. Texas-born and LA-based, Exposito got his MFA at CalArts in 2000. Since then, he has been...   read more

LA-BASED ARTIST ANALIA SABAN DEBUTS AT JOSH LILLEY GALLERY IN LONDON

The young Argentinean painter Analia (say Anna-Lia) Saban has lived in Los Angeles for ten years, where she studied with John Baldessari at the University of California. She makes ingenious, metaphysical and yet humorous deconstructions of the elements of painting, adopting a different concept for each show. Previous works have included cutting out all the parallel lines from a Sol Lewitt and letting them fall as they would; sticking individual brushstrokes to the canvas with tape; and applying arrows to...   read more

Bart Esposito
at Thomas Solomon Gallery, Chinatown, Los Angeles 

Recommendation by Michael Shaw

Continuing through June 12, 2010

With "Bends" Bart Exposito continues to develop his work in a more nuanced direction, with the inclusion of pastels and softer, gradated backgrounds, evolving from the more aggressively flat, imposingly graphic work of earlier in the decade. It's a refinement that's still not without an abundance of hard edges, and the cascades of...   read more

Art review: Bart Exposito at Thomas Solomon Gallery

May 14, 2010

For most of the past decade, Bart Exposito has been making sleek abstract paintings that bridge seemingly unbridgeable gaps -- between high-style fashion and low product-design, machine fabrication and hand craft, bemused spontaneity and earnest control. The populism of commercial taste collides with the elitism of informed aesthetics.

In the process Exposito has developed an irresistible body of post-Pop, Neo-Hard-Edge...   read more

Brad Eberhard: abstract art and abstract thoughts

The artist will muse about color and form and mix in thoughts on Plato and human consciousness.

By Holly Myers, Special to the Los Angeles Times

May 9, 2010

Brad Eberhard's studio, in the garage of the Lincoln Heights house he shares with two friends, sits at the top of a narrow, perilously steep street, with a spacious view across what is, with all the winter rain, a vividly green hillside. A spare and comfortably tidy space, with a worktable, several shelves of books, a pair of vintage...   read more
