Craola Mania at Merry Karnowsky!
“RSVP Mandatory” on the invite should have tipped me off that this might be treacherous. The line around the block should have sent me retreating. During the half-hour wait to get into Greg “Craola” Simkins‘ opening at Merry Karnowsky, a car stopped in the middle of La Brea, the driver yelled “Is that the…
Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This: Eye Candy at WWA Gallery
It’s a can’t lose proposition really. “Eye Candy,” that’s the title of the latest group exhibition at WWA Gallery.

Sleepwalking Along the Dotted Line: JoKa at C.A.V.E. Gallery
JoKa is definitely up to something. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that he has nefarious intent, but he’s certainly lurking in our dreamworld, observing our lust and our fears, ready to pounce on the first chimera he finds. Well, I’ve been observing JoKa too. He’s an artist that seized my attention…
People Are Strange: Mercedes Helnwein’s “Make It Dark” at Merry Karnowsky Gallery
Let’s not get too bogged down in who Mercedes Helnwein is just yet. Let us, for the moment, focus on the work which, with Helnwein, is a writer’s dream. No matter how you attempt to describe her art, you can’t really go wrong, given that one avoids words like “convivial” and “uplifting”. Helnwein traffics in oblique, moody…
