Art LA Contemporary|Adam Belt
This piece is called "Down the Rabbit Hole." At first it may seem merely to be a suggestion to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. However when you look at the rest of Belt's work, he explores ideas of space, telescopes, light, the big bang, planets...etc. His piece feel more cosmic in context of the rest of his work.
It felt like looking into a bottomless hole in the exhibition wall...bottomless hole or infinite space...same thing i guess.
Check out Adam's site to see more of his work.

Art LA Contemporary|Ed Moses: Garden of Forking Tongues
I'm not really sure what these paintings are about. Here are a few references and clues that I picked up on though...
1. His cartoonish figures remind me of Kara Walker... something about the black cut-outs.
3. Speaking with a "forked tongue" means to say one thing and mean another. It also reminds me of the serpent in the Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden story.
Hmmm... what do you make of this?
Check out the opening reception at Ace Gallery on Feb 25th, 2012 at 7pm.

Montgomery Perry Smith at Sabina Lee Gallery
Go Tell it on the Mountain
This show at the Charlie James Gallery focuses on Christianity in minority communities. The show seemed like a commentary on the many ways religion is exploited. It also offers views about religion becoming such a cultural part of communities that it almost becomes ineffectual as a spiritual component of peoples' live. The exhibit is up until Feb 18, 2012.
