Jason Shawn Alexander: No Good At Exits
at 101/Exhibit, Santa Monica Blvd
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Apr 05, 14 - May 24, 14

For his fourth exhibition, figurative painter Jason Shawn Alexander returns to his provocative and courageously revealing form of image-making that perpetuated the pivotal earlier works of his career, particularly those of the Insomnius and Undertow series. Whereas some viewers may conclude that Alexander is coming full-circle from his experimental peripheries of recent years to the early work that gained him much notoriety, this would be an untenable analysis at best. read more...

Susanne K眉hn: World of Wild Animals
at Beck & Eggeling Duesseldorf
D眉sseldorf, Germany
Apr 05, 14 - Jun 07, 14

In paintings by Susanne K眉hn (*1969 in Leipzig) of mostly large format a young female figure takes centre stage. She moves like an actor on a stage; she flourishes, brings movement and vitality to the scene. A strong light illuminates her theatrically; it appears like a spotlight, as if the actress moved in front of a dark and wide landscaped background. In the interior scenes it is a complex and multilayered architectural space which provokes suspense but at the same time creates harmony again by (cor)responding to the colours of the figure's clothing. read more...

at Michael Gibson Gallery
London, ON, Canada
Apr 05, 14 - Apr 26, 14

For the month of April in our main gallery we will be showing late monochromatic works by London artist Margot Ariss (1929-2013) and St. Thomas artist Clark McDougall (1921-1980). Though both artists worked in very different mediums (Margot with clay and Clark with paint), they both understood innately the importance of composition, light, shadow and texture. By not using any colour, both artists created an incredible sense of atmosphere, movement and energy in their work. read more...
