Ellen Caldwell reviews Charlene Liu’s exhibition “Everywhere Close to Me” in New American Paintings
“In her third solo show “Everywhere Close to Me” at Taylor De Cordoba, Charlene Liu creates and mediates really special moments with her works on paper.

Frohawk Two Feathers is featured in the April 2012 issue of Angeleno, where he is highlighted in the “Men of Style” feature.
“Umar Rashid, aka Frohawk Two Feathers, never planned on becoming a darling of L.A.’s contemporary art world. His intricate ink- and tea-stained war-themed works (produced in the downtown L.A. house where he lives with his wife, Michiyo Suda, and their daughter, 2-year-old Iroha) have attracted The New York Times, are repped by white-hot gallerist Heather Taylor and have been featured in exhibitions around the world. Up next? His first solo exhibition at a museum, taking place this summer at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver. Rashid’s bold, melting-pot fashion sense can be seen as an extension of his art, so it comes as no surprise that the 35-year-old’s most-loved pieces include an ethical fur raccoon tail from a Native American collective in Washington state. He favors vintage suits and a pair of metallic slippers he snagged on a trip to Dubai, and is quite fond of the traditional Japanese karate gi. While anything Paul Smith and Woolrich Woolen Mills tickles his fancy, it’s the old and quirky—feathered headdresses, Vietnamese police hats and even ill-fitting leather jackets—that make him happiest. “The sleeves are too short,” he says, pointing to his jacket. “But it’s my own personal style.”

Hadley Holliday is featured in the Arts section of The Huffington Post,.
“Hadley Holliday’s works are heavy on the eyes, yet the borders and lines are crafted with youthful indulgence. While her new series at Taylor De Cordoba in LA is undeniably complex from a painter’s point of view, the overall impression of the work is effortless — as though the acrylic patterns were found in situ.”

Art critic Mat Gleason reviews the exhibitions on display in the Culver City Arts District, including Hadley Holliday’s exhibition “Warp and Weft” on the Youtube channel for the Coagula Art Journal, calling them “excellent, mind-blowing abstractions.”
Lilian Min previews Hadley Holliday’s exhibition “Warp and Weft” on Refinery 29.
When we hear the term “weaving,” we tend to think in terms of mats or baskets — not wall-hangings. But that’s the exactly what CalArts-trained L.A. artist Hadley Holliday’s intricately patterned acrylic paintings are. Woven. Sort of.
Each one builds on the idea of interlocking shapes and forms, and the end product is a serious sight to behold. Holliday’s handcrafted creations take one general color and, in a series of sculpted ripples, create abstract, fluid forms that force the viewer to confront positive and negative space, busy movement, serene reflection, mythical origins, and modern creation.
