9/14/16 review of Helikon Gallery shows by Sierra Barela and Natan Lawson

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the 2016 Helikon Gallery solo shows Four Whales and a Dolphin, by Sierra Barela, and ¡Splat!, by Natan Lawson.

The thread gives some background on each of the shows. It discusses Barela's style and use of fragmentation and sexiness, as well as my favorite work in Barela's show. The thread also discusses Lawson's technique and exploration of the mark-making process.

Here is the link to the Helikon Gallery's website. Unfortunately, the gallery announced its closure at the end of 2019, due to increased property taxes in Denver, Colorado.

3/19/16 review of shows at NEXT Gallery and Pirate Contemporary

(Works by Phil Bender. Photo by me.)

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a couple of 2016 shows at NEXT Gallery and Pirate Contemporary, two galleries that used to be in the Navajo Art District of Denver, Colorado, but have since relocated, thanks to changing times.

The thread discusses and gives photos of work by Stephanie McCandless, Dayana Ruiz, and Phil Bender. I love Ruiz and Bender as people and artists. So I highly recommend checking out their work.

Daisy Patton is one of my favorite artists who has spent time in Colorado. The thread is brief. But it gives a good picture of her work and some key points about why I like her.

9/26/15 review of MCA Denver Marilyn Minter show Pretty/Dirty

(Image: MCA Denver photo of Marilyn Minter exhibition book.)

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the Museum of Contemporary Art's 2015 Marilyn Minter solo show, Pretty/Dirty.

Pretty/Dirty was a multimedia show that traced Minter's development as an artist from realist photography, through pop art, then to painting photorealism. My Twitter thread has a lot of photos from the show. Minter's work is glamorous, gloppy, messy, sexy, and hypnotic. The MCA Denver did a great job of presenting it.
