New for LA Weekly: Visual Language: The Art of Protest at Subliminal Projects 🪧 The challenge for political art is how to be both urgently current and thoughtfully timeless, how to communicate compelling ideas with clarity and force but to create objects and images of nuance and mystery. The risk is that neither the art nor the cause will shine. But in Visual Language: The Art of Protest at Subliminal Projects, curated with Coates & Scarry, you’ll find dozens of artists who prove that it can indeed be done. Catch the powerful exhibition before it closes on Saturday. 🪧Read the full review here: https://www.laweekly.com/compelling-pictures-important-ideas-in-visual-language-the-art-of-protest/ @laweekly @subliminalprojects @coatesandscarry #visuallanguage #laweekly (at Subliminal Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJgbqJvuCx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Regram from @charliejamesgallery ♥️ Lovely piece on Glenn Hardy Jr. by Shana Nys Dambrot for the LA Weekly! “Hardy’s canvases may be welcoming, inviting and candid — but they nevertheless whisper a foundational allegation: Why must the default of ordinary life as a subject in fine art always been white life? In a climate of racism and bias, artists like Hardy counter not with testimonies of anger and violence, but with the empathetic strength that grows from tales of love.” Thank you Shana!!!!!!!! @shananys ♥️ https://www.laweekly.com/glenn-hardy-jr-represents-at-charlie-james-gallery/ Bravo @glennhardyjr @laweekly #glennhardyjr #whoamifidontrepresent #charliejamesgallery @ever.a.k.a.thegirlabouttown #laweekly #shananysdambrot (at Charlie James Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnsNveuyIpb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
