Painter Adrian Cox continues to expand the mythology of his hybrid Border Creatures in “Awakenings.” Opening at Beinart Gallery on April 6, the show takes us inside the Borderlands and the latest narratives involving his fictional race of creatures that are in harmony with the natural world. This show features a new being, named Penitent Spirit, dwelling his lush world. Cox was featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 47.

“In Penitent Spirit’s ongoing quest for redemption, a being that once ravaged the Borderlands searches for a new way of existing,” Beinart offers. “Ultimately, these works are informed by the anxieties and hopes of living today and give shape to the question of how we might transform our own relationships with each other and the natural world.”

Salvatore Alessi’s Oil Paintings Present a ‘Hybrid Reality’

Italian painter Salvatore Alessi toys with reality and abstraction in his oil works on canvas. These scenes seem to reference and subvert both the physics of the real world and an internal existence. Alessi cites names like Velasquez, Goya, Picasso, Bacon, and Freud as influences.

Kazuki Takamatsu Paintings Collected in Double Solo Show

This June, Kazuki Takamatsu kicks off a double solo show at both locations of Dorothy Circus Gallery, in Rome and London. “For Tomorrow” collects new paintings that bridge analog and digital art, crafting gouache and acrylic layers that recreate figures first imagined using 3-D software. The artist uses this method to also tether both Eastern and Western culture. Takamatsu recently created the cover for the Hi-Fructose Collected 4 Box Set.

On View: Mike Parillo and Ashkan Honarvar at CES Contemporary

Though Mike Parillo's work appears to be a cacophony of colors at a first glance, the artist's abstract oeuvre is executed with the tightness of illustration. His latest series of camouflage-like paintings for his solo show, "Just the Tip" at LA's CES Contemporary, is a wild display of peacock tail hues. The colors take on cloud-like shapes or furry textures, rendered with precise line work that evokes early cartoons. The self-taught Parillo got his start as a commercial illustrator for snowboarding companies in the early '90s and his paintings certainly reverberate with the energy of extreme sports culture and imagery.

Reen Barrera’s ‘Ohlala’ Character Lives in Paintings, Sculpture

With his signature “Ohlala” character, Reen Barrera creates both mixed-media paintings and windable toys. The figure moves between cutesy and menacing iterations, appearing both hardened and crudely decorated. In the moving wooden sculptures, the deceptively simple actions show ingenuity from the artist.
