C.W.Lübeck’s painting Time of Innocence reflects this sense of alienation. In this work, the artist captures a melancholic portrayal of an anonymous person. With halved face, part cerulean blue and part blue grey, there is a sense of fragmentation, a rupture in one’s life.  The blue-grey half is expressionless and youthful; its other half features […]

Petrit Halilaj does not shy away from using his personal biography as a source for his work. The Kosovan artist’s childhood memories, centered on the drama of war and the subsequent refugee tragedy, are the inspiration for his creation of complex and often monumental installations. For him, the search for home is still a significant […]

As silly as it may sound, I remember always using images off of the site as background images for my mac book […]

When Deitch closed, the community of artists I had been supporting needed a gallery to continue and fill the hole that Deitch left, so I became an art dealer. I curate those shows here, and still participate in curating shows on an international level, but I focus more on selling art. The Hole is unique […]

I don’t find anything to be more compelling, perplexing, challenging, exciting, or moving than art. There aren’t many spaces in life that allow for something so entirely impractical to exist. In what other arena is it acceptable to knit with excavators and telephone poles, for example? Creative thinkers and visionaries are the ones who shape […]

I first encountered your work in its abstract phase, that is post-2008, and now the abstraction is the work that you are known for, at least in Los Angeles. Do you embrace having two distinctly different periods in your work, or is there part of you that wants to put the first phase behind you […]
