1.Michael Zelehoski takes found three-dimensional objects like pallets and police barricades and restructures them into two-dimensional space via Mike Weiss Gallery
2. Exploring the Rules of Vandalism at Le Paris Urbain
3. In her exhibition Attention Shoppers, Lisa Hoke invites the eye to a smorgasbord of color and form sourced from the printed packaging that contains and advertises processed foods at Pavel Zoubok
4. Kacper Kowalski’s striking aerial photography at The Curator Gallery
5. For Passage, Sophia Allison and Leanne Lee intermixed stained coffee filters and hand-drawn patterns on torn rice paper. In addition to the botanical imagery found in both artists’ individual oeuvre, the piece references landscapes from Allison’s work as well as Korean symbols and motifs common in Lee’s work at San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art
6. Rick Begneaud aptly combines paint, collaged with fabrics to create abstracted, angular shapes pulsating with rich color at Woodward Gallery

1. With extraordinary delicacy, Tom Phillips has dissected his previously used, discarded plastic palettes and converted fragments of them into intricate oil collages mounted on panels at Flowers Gallery
2. Jacques Roch’s paintings tell a narrative that comes close to the edge of a nightmarish darkness, taking a last minute playful turn with sexual daydreams and humorous, childlike doodles at Kim Foster Gallery
3. Jason Roth’s newest series of paintings on shop rags are explosions of multicolored forms that possesses a bold graphic flavor and tough, matte surface at Masters Pelvin
4. Shane McAdams and Caroline Jane Harris experiment with unusual mediums – paper, ball-point pen ink, resin – taking nature and landscapes as a starting point but with very different results at Scream London
5. For Ati Maier, the first Moon Walk serves as both metaphor and unifying theme to her latest exhibition, The Map Is Not the Territory at Pierogi 2000
6. David Poppie’s amazing work with colored pencils at Pavel Zoubok
