The Real Inauguration Day

Juventino Aranda
In his gallery debut, Juventino Aranda treads a fine line between elegance, humor and flat out anger. Textiles replace paint but quote the likes of Mark Rothko. But the use of a Pendelton shirt also reads as a symbol of ethnicity and class. More...

View of a Royal Family

Catherine Colangelo
“Talismanic," the title of Catherine Colangelo’s current show, borrows a term that describes objects with the power to protect from harm. Shields ward off evil, eyes afford vigilance against malevolence within intricate geometric patterns. More...
