Max Maslansky — May 24 - June 23, 2007
Cherry and Martin presents its first solo exhibition of Los-Angeles based artist Max Maslansky’s paintings, watercolors and drawings.
Max Maslansky’s paintings and works on paper explore the sentiments of Middle America through its foibles and hidden existential dramas. Honoré Daumier’s caricatures of government officials and minor bourgeoisie find sympathy in Maslansky’s own depictions of sleeping kings and striving artists, scheming court jesters and top-hated businessmen. In addition to these stock symbols of power and the lack thereof, Maslansky depicts such uniquely American figures as the football-player, the superhero and the game show host—male figures who, when depicted by Maslansky, seem to have little idea what to do with their fame and stardom, even in the midst of it. Read more »

Amanda Ross-Ho: Nothin Fuckin Matters — February 17 - March 24, 2007
“WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH, BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH,�? states Amanda Ross-Ho. Using images pulled from a wide range of cultural material—drug-seizure websites and self-help books, newspaper clippings and holiday craft manuals—Amanda Ross-Ho locates sites within culture’s representational flow, carving out designated points of focus. Recognizing that contemporary culture moves not as a linear narrative, but rather as a string of analogies, Ross-Ho proposes intersections between seemingly unrelated images and objects. Read more »
Antonio Adriano Puleo: Birds and Beasts — January 6 - February 10, 2007
Antonio Adriano Puleo’s paintings and works on paper draw their motifs from a variety of art historical sources including Persian and Indian miniatures, Japanese prints and the work of Florentine master Fra Angelico. Read more »

New work by Max Maslansky, Kim McCarty, Antonio Adriano Puleo, Amanda Ross-Ho and Augusta Wood. Read more »
Ruby Osorio: Extreme Unction — September 16 - October 28, 2006
Ruby Osorio’s works on paper address identity as an unresolved narrative in which allegory, myth, and fantasy play central roles. Osorio’s distinctly feminine imagery explores one's ability/desire to transcend physical and psychological limitations; her technique of dense patterning, stitching and repetition invokes ritual as a formal, tactile and symbolic presence. Read more »
Zoo Art Fair / London — October 12-15, 2006
New work by Holly Coulis, Nathan Mabry, Ruby Osorio, Amanda Ross-Ho and Augusta Wood.
Augusta Wood: leaning on the margin — June 24 - July 30, 2006
Augusta Wood’s "leaning on the margin" is an exhibition of colorfully directed, suggestively performative photographs taken by the artist in a variety of locations, both public and private. Upending our sense of the photograph as a neutral document, Wood’s square-formatted works include passages of handwritten text. In a work like "unfolding in pieces," (2006), the text is entwined with the image; here, written in the sand of a vast secluded beach like a castaway’s desperate SOS. In "i used to live outside new memory," (2006), the writing is penned by a finger smearing leftover oil paint on the glass palette in an artist’s studio surrounded by ephemera and unfinished paintings. Read more »
El Dorado: Holly Coulis, Alison Fox, Angelina Gualdoni, Portia Hein — May 13 - June 17, 2006
The title of the main gallery exhibition, El Dorado, suggests that art-making is a journey, if not a quest, to the limits of the imaginable. The history of painting, in particular, has been defined by the idea of painting as an artistic epic and that painterly practice is an arena in which individuals prove themselves and leave their mark. Read more »
Amanda Ross-Ho: Don't Front (You Know I Got Cha Open) — May 13 - June 17, 2006
Amanda Ross-Ho's interest in individual experience is interpreted through the lens of contemporary culture’s mass-consumer, product-driven flow. Her exhibition in the rear gallery locates sites of artistic action and personal significance, proposing relationships between a range disparate objects and experiences. Read more »
Kim McCarty — April 1 - May 6, 2006
Kim McCarty’s watercolors depict young people, girls and boys, at fragile moments. Uncertain about life and what it holds, McCarty’s subjects are delicate, yet enigmatic individuals, full of promise and mystery, captured at a point in their lives in which the future stretches out before them and any outcome is possible. Writing in the catalogue for the Hammer Museum’s important 2003 exhibition, International Paper, curator Claudine Isé comments that McCarty’s adolescent and preadolescent children “hover between presence and absence, innocence and wisdom. Read more »
MACO Art Fair / Mexico City — April 26-30, 2006
New work by Nathan Mabry, Ruby Osorio Amanda Ross-Ho and Augusta Wood.
Nathan Mabry — February 18 - March 25, 2006
Nathan Mabry’s sculpture throws into relief the assumed divide between “ethnographic" sculptural works and those of such American Minimalists as John McCracken, Sol LeWitt and Carl Andre. Juxtaposing formal, material and conceptual elements, Mabry encourages the viewer to explore a range of topics including the place of the artist in society, the role of technology and the relationship of a civilization to its past, present and the always-changing vicissitudes of popular culture. Read more »
LA Art / New York — March 10-12, 2006
New work by Holly Coulis, Nathan Mabry, Max Maslansky, Kim McCarty, Ruby Osorio and Augusta Wood.
Holly Coulis — January 7 - February 11, 2006
Holly Coulis’ new paintings depict passing moments snatched from the flow of time and held up for exploration and appreciation. Slowed down, these moments are like scenes from Noh drama or a film by Akira Kurosawa—elevated, aestheticized and made to suggest quiet elegance and grace, subtle meaning and fleeting beauty. In addition to traditional Japanese aesthetics, Coulis draws heavily on the images of Western art history and the composition and techniques of American painters like Milton Avery and Fairfield Porter. Read more »
Max Maslansky — January 7 - February 11, 2006
Coulis’ interest in the importance of unheralded moments finds a parallel in the work of Max Maslansky, several of whose new paintings depict fallen or failed heroic male archetypes, such as cowboys and sportsmen, painters and composers, kings and superheroes. Max Maslansky uses an unusual technique in which the absorbent ground he applies to his work alternately absorbs and repels the pigments from his brush, creating an uneven surface of drips and brushstrokes that adds to the sense of his depiction of tentative scenes. Read more »
Nathan Mabry — November 4 - December 11, 2005
A new work by Los Angeles artist Nathan Mabry, Conversation Piece (Jackin’, Stackin’ and Crackin’), continues the connection between traditional ritual experience and contemporary culture and art. Read more »
Jeremy Shaw: DMT — November 4 - December 11, 2005
An 8-channel work DMT (2004) presents Shaw and 7 others taking the drug derived from the Ayahuasca vine. In recounting their short but intense experience on DMT—the text of which Shaw has overlaid on the original film—the artist and his fellow imbibers fall back on images and metaphors provided by mass-media, consumer driven youth culture. DMT raises questions about youth culture, its ability to address ‘real’ experience and the role of the artist—as shaman?—within that culture. Read more »
Whitney Bedford — September 17 - October 23, 2005
Whitney Bedford's violent, beautiful brushstrokes build up and destroy underlying drawings of shipwrecks, islands and volcanic masses. Updating classic academic paintings of maritime scenes and iconic views of cataclysmic eruptions, these metaphors for impending doom are cathartic interpretations of the chaotic forces of our time. Bedford reworks preexisting cultural frames of reference to explore deeper emotions and political realities at work in our collective consciousness. Read more »
