Adele Renault’s studio is an old converted Korean church in Los Angeles. It’s a large, fascinating old building just down the road from some of the biggest gallery names in the world like Zwirner, but here, there is a quiet hum of the 10 freeway and a massive painting area that could almost be an…

The beauty of Barry McGee’s sudden avalanche of output over the last 18 months is the degree to which there is purpose to the density of the production. It feels like the legendary and influential San Francisco artist has something to say, or in the case of his Paris solo show at Perrotin, he has…

Ivana Ivković (b. 1979 in Belgrade) observes that in moments of upheaval, art watches and waits. The Serbian artist works in the space between vulnerability and resistance, and she has taken to the streets. Her multidisciplinary practice traverses drawing, photography, installation, and delegated performance, and Ivković often uses the male body to examine power, trust,…

Brian Calvin is a familiar and constantly evolving face. The fact that he paints himself into the works and the shows makes sense of this, but Calvin has continually expanded and contracted his visual language as he and those around him age.

Artists have long been inspired by the themes of the carnival and the circus. They often identify with the craft, the courage, and the sometimes marginal existence of circus and carnival performers.

Skin is the main barrier between our insides and the outside world.

The first thought I had when I read that the name of this show was Sidewalk Chalk was just the idea of a summer and childhood. Chalk is harmless but formative.

It is rather refreshing to have Los Angeles painted by a New Yorker.
