Artist Talk & Discussion with Karen Liebowitz
Saturday, January 28, 2012, 10am Please join us at Rosamund Felsen Gallery as we welcome artist Karen Liebowitz for an informal artist talk and discussion on Saturday, January 28th at 10am. Karen will be here to discuss her current work, Skinning Leviathan, a 16 x 30 foot mural painted directly on the gallery wall. Skinning Leviathan is part of a years-long series, called Manifesting Prophecies, that explores apocalyptic stories and animal prophecies as alternate symbologies. Liebowitz often begins with ancient religious texts and through study and a highly skilled painting technique invents new dramas and new myths in which women are the main protagonists. The women in these re-imagined myths depict and enroll the power of the earthly human intervention in order to make the magical happen. They point to a new female identity that displays strength through nurturing, and an inherent sexuality that heightens their empowered nature. We invite you to join us for this special event. Karen Liebowitz is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator. She holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon and an MFA from UCLA; she currently teaches at USC.

Our last exhibition Charles Arnoldi: Works from the 70s, was reviewed by Holly Myers of the Los Angeles Times.
- - - The creative restlessness aroused by the painting debates of the 1970s is on full display in a fine selection of Charles Arnoldi’s early work at Rosamund Felsen Gallery. Though he would never forsake the form altogether — and is indeed known primarily as a painter today — one can see Arnoldi feeling out the boundaries here in ways that would inform his approach in subsequent years. - - - Read the rest of the review here.
Kim MacConnel's work is currently on view as part of a solo exhibition at Solomon Contemporary in New York. The exhibition, called Pleasures is the first in a series of exhibitions at Solomon called American Responses.

"Lavi Daniel at Rosamund Felsen Gallery" by Tracey Harnish
It's a curious mix that Lavi Daniel conjures in painting and sculpture. Both are about density but in very different ways. The paintings use light to push some shapes forward while others dangle in space. Forms are a cross between organic and geometric which adds to the ambiguity of their existence as something tangible. There is the feel of light coming over the horizon, a shelf that recedes into a crevice in a cave, a rock formation that juts from a wall. Read More

Joan Jonas review by Drew Snyder in art ltd.
Being the idiosyncratic late 19th - early 20th century Renaissance scholar that he was, Aby Warburg is likely not the first figure to come to mind when thinking about the American Southwest. The German art historian is better known for pioneering such staples of the field as iconography and iconology, or for his mnemonic devices that collaged unrelated images into thematic systems. Nonetheless, in 1896 Warburg made a journey from Europe to New Mexico to witness the rites of the Hopi people, an experience to which he returned throughout his life to illuminate aspects of his theory. In "The Shape, The Scent, The Feel of Things," path-breaking performance and video artist Joan Jonas extends Warburg\\\'s legacy as well as his methodology. The multi-media installation traverses time and space and culture, and is as much a knotted homage to the American Southwest as it is to Warburg himself... click here to read more.
Patrick Nickell reviewed by Eve Wood in art ltd.
Patrick Nickell understands Modernism with all its complex implications, how at the heart of the modernist impulse is a pervasive self-consciousness, the desire to externalize the invisible, to clarify the ineffable, physicalizing objects in time and space. Nickell excels at using simple materials in the service of seductively capricious sculptural abstraction; his 2008 show at Rosamund Felsen featured giant, squiggly colored bands of plywood and cardboard, which filled the room from floor to wall. As seen this February at Santa Monica's Rosamund Felsen Gallery, Nickell's newest efforts have born some extraordinary and wild fruit: a series of sculptures, set on table-like bases, that expand and retract simultaneously into the surrounding space. Like modernism itself, perhaps, Nickell's approach seems focused largely on processes and materials utilized toward a greater abstraction. In today's cultural climate, modernism could arguably be seen as suggesting an esoteric set of strategies, yet the impulse toward newness and expansion is still vital and very much alive in Nickell's work, in which it has found, if not necessarily a new form, then an innovative and persuasive extension beyond the usual. click here to read more.
