In the realm of contemporary art, few artists manage to captivate and confound quite like Angelo Accardi. This Italian maestro of the canvas has emerged as a powerful voice in the surrealist movement, breathing new life into a genre that continues to challenge our perceptions of reality. Born in southern Italy, Accardi’s artistic journey began at the Art Academy of Naples. However, it was in the solitude of his own studio that his distinctive style…

Artist Spotlight: Angelique Bacia

Posted on April 15, 2019July 24, 2019 by Dylan Ramsey

It was a warm spring Sunday evening, April 14th, 2019, when Angelique and her husband Michal dropped by my house to install two majestic abstract oil pieces that Angelique recently composed. I’ve known Angelique since 2006, when she was expressing her art as an actress and quickly evolved into writing her own comedic series. As life progressed, so did she. Life had other plans for Angelique, or should I say, Angelique had other plans for…

Having lived in Toronto before moving to Los Angeles, I never visited the AGO, and Ai Weiwei’s exhibit was the perfect introduction. Ai Weiwei was born 28 August 1957 in Bejing China, and most notably renowned for his political activism, expressed through his art, against the Chinese Government and its stance on…

Posted on July 15, 2013July 13, 2019 by Murray Rosen

Let there be light and then let there be darkness! This is perhaps the story of Caravaggio, who was not just one of the greatest painters ever to have lived but also a true revolutionary in both spirit and technique. Eight of his paintings are currently on display at LACMA as part of a massive homage to him and the many, many painters he influenced – fifty of their works are part of the exhibit…

Cy Twombly: Against All Odds, Rises an Artist of Greatness

Posted on July 13, 2013July 21, 2019 by Murray Rosen

Part 1: Overview and Beginnings One of his first major exhibits was described by a critic as a fiasco, involving scribbles a grammar school student could have created. Even one of his supporters described his work as discomfiting to critics and truculently difficult for laymen. So, how did Cy Twombly, who came from relatively nondescript beginnings, attended a seemingly obscure college, lived almost incognito for many years outside Rome, and produced works of seeming collagic chaos…
