Painter Dan Sibley by Lost At E Minor
Painter Dan Sibley appropriates the Aboriginal technique of dot painting for his contemporary creations of idyllic luxury hotels and homes on fire, particularly resonant considering recent events in Victoria. The use of dots gives his work a computer-generated bent, while the bright colors are reminiscent of the pop culture art of the '60s and '70s and the absence of people in his fantasy images lends them an eerie, almost artificial feel.

Painter Ann Toebbe
Ann Toebbe's paintings of domestic scenes and assorted interiors are quite inspirational, giving the feeling of living in a geometric, melancholy collage. The Chicago-based artist's work shares some of the color, shapes and flatness of Christoph Ruckhäberle, but she leaves out the people and weirdness. In each piece, intricate patterns and simple forms clutter the plane, which make up a uniquely one-dimensional composition....

Vanessa Prager: Hunting and Gaming
Los Feliz artist Vanessa Prager has been exhibited at the Robert Berman Gallery, Gallery 1988 and the Santa Monica Museum of Art. Her series, Hunting and Gaming, explores the "nature of sinister play." Prager paints "starkly-lit scenes of surrealistic moments in daily life; untangling holiday decorations, playing with old toys, driving or chatting. But her odd theatrical arrangements suggest something creepy going on behind...

David Kassan
Brooklyn-based artist David Kassan paints such lifelike portraits, they practically leap off the canvas. From his website: "As an expression of his own calculated observation and visual consumption of surrounding environment, introspective glimpses of reality imbue the art of David Kassan. By immersing himself into his subject matter, Kassan is able to infuse his painting with life and realism." (Click image for detail.)...

David Reed
It's either the eye-pop effect of his palette or the graffiti tag sensibility of the brushstrokes that endear David Reed's new paintings to me. They just seem familiar. In what can feel like an austere and exclusive world of high culture and Chelsea art openings, his solo show opened with a mix of 20-something hipsters and beret-topped collectors. So it seemed like Reed achieved...
