Kimberly Brooks, Artist Profile by Kim Beil. "The paintings in "Technicolor Summer," Kimberly Brooks' latest solo show at Taylor de Cordoba, are shot through with vibrant bolts of color: jade, ultramarine and magenta course through the highlights and support the shadows in these paintings that feel like pages from a family album. Drawing again on the snapshot aesthetic that was central to the work in her last show, "Mom"s Friends," Brooks" new paintings invite the viewer to dive even further into the emotional experience of browsing through family photographs..."

Books, covers, etc. by Victoria Namkung. "On Saturday, L.A.'s Taylor De Cordoba gallery debuts Cover Version, a group show devoted to 20 artists' interpretations of the cover of their favorite books....The artists (including Michael Bilsborough, Jennifer Sullivan, and Frohawk Two Feathers) are all relative unknowns, but based on the work, they won't stay that way for long."

"Cover Version: A Summer Reading List," by Shana Nys Dambrot. "Thematic summer shows are as de rigueur in the art world as summer reading lists were in high school, and now a new group exhibition combines the best of both. For Cover Version, some 20 artists are invited by curator Timothy Hull to reconsider the book jackets of their favorite tomes. Hull is a painter himself, based in New York, whose own work references both the written word and the act of writing itself in intricate, pattern-based paintings and drawings, and several of the participating artists fit well into the idiom. Frohawk Two Feathers also creates text-heavy work elaborately chronicling the histories of fictional nations, while fellow TDC Gallery-mate Ryan Callis favors attention-grabbing, graphic, composite imagery potentially ideal for creating a cover by which to judge a book."

"Claire Oswalt at Taylor De Cordoba" by Ashley Tibbits. "There can be no doubt of the artists's mastery with a pencil and knowledge of the human form, but Oswalt is not telling us "this is a person, this is movement" with her naturalistically rendered forms. Rather she relays quite the opposite, recognizing her control over hapless subjects."

"Something Wooden This Way Comes" by George Ducker. "Moving from her previous paintings into the realm of "sculptural drawings," Culver City artist Claire Oswalt has fashioned an armada of papery, puppety dolls invisibly mounted onto wooden backgrounds. The result is a low-tech but "fully functioning" three-dimensional troupe of girls. Also, be on the lookout for the self-explanatory puppet series "I fell in love" somewhere near the back of the exhibit..."

A chapter from colonial times by Holly Myers
"...The bulk of the story is told through drawings and paintings that mimic the conventions of colonial-era genres -- particularly portraiture -- while remaining wonderfully fresh and strange. The project is a peculiar one that manages to balance a number of unlikely qualities -- lighthearted and earnest, endearing and unsettling, humorous and scathingly critical."

Review by Nisa Schoonhoven. "Upon entering the Frohawk Two Feathers show "In the Court of the Crimson King" we are drawn into a familiar yet strangely skewed world alluding to the all too familiar Western historical narrative of imperialism and conquest. The show, which is loosely based on the King Crimson song of the same name, is comprised of a series of stylized portraits that possess a certain Wes Anderson-esque aesthetic allure, as well as a charmingly hand written treatise describing the history of the "Frenglish" and the various exploits of a few prominent figures..."

It all underscores the delicate balance between man and nature...

From A-list gallery-goers to random passersby, Bay Area painter, muralist, and installation artist Andrew Schoultz has mesmerized viewers with his unique draftsmanship and surreal narrative symbolism. Intricate forms including tree trunks, elephants, ocean waves, wooden ships, weapons, and storm clouds occupy his sweeping landscapes and vistas ? all rendered using obsessively detailed structures made of thin, black lines that layer like folds of skin. Achieving a level of shade and contour that defies logic and patience, his jovial, folksy, and sometimes incisive humor shines through in every single piece.
