Art Show will be in luck: they\u2019ll get a rare glimpse of Daniel Sprick\u2019s work, who has been included this year in the lineup of painters at Arcadia Contemporary\u2019s central booth. Arcadia usually serves more or less as the LA Art Show\u2019s tent pole. It\u2019s nearly unavoidable as you walk in. You can spend time in the booth and then really can\u2019t escape it until you head back to the parking lot. You move out in various directions only to walk past Arcadia\u2019s sprawling space on your way to see work on the other side of the building. Sprick\u2019s paintings are a rare treat. He had an astonishing, definitive solo show at Arcadia a couple decades ago where he painted various scenes from his studio. Objects for him are arranged carefully to create a formal composition but his skeletons and tools and tightly bound fabrics find their place in your field of view so haphazardly that the scene looks as if he\u2019d discovered it rather than set it up. The light in one of his paintings is liquid,\u00a0 offering just enough illumination to offer precision, but rarely bright. His handling of paint in that show was flawless and tactile, bringing to mind the gifts of Gerhard Richter and even Velasquez. His skills haven\u2019t faded. He\u2019s able to make random arrangements of tools and objects in a studio look as if they are perfectly situated to convey exactly the quality of light falling on them through his studio windows.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10839\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10839\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10839\" src=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/John-Brosio-USA-300x229.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/John-Brosio-USA-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/John-Brosio-USA-1024x781.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/John-Brosio-USA-768x586.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/John-Brosio-USA.jpg 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10839\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Brosio<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are dozens of other opportunities for awe at the Arcadia booth this year. Once again, guy-in-charge Steven Diamant is exhibiting an amazing quantity of masterful painting, all of it idiosyncratic, some of it quite strange and dark (stopping just this side of morbid here and there), some just the opposite, bright and affirmative and flush with vitality. Much of the work offers hyperrealistic depictions of time-shifted dreams from an indeterminate past, a transposition of slightly antiquarian styles or objects into the present, a visionary esthetic that has found a welcoming dwelling at Arcadia. John Brosio continues to depict low-rent locals or storefronts unwittingly providing a foreground for apocalyptic landscapes behind them. Occasionally he cashes in on the potential for amusing ironies in these hermetic dramas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10842\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10842\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10842\" src=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Adam-McGalliard-USA-300x264.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Adam-McGalliard-USA-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Adam-McGalliard-USA-768x677.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Adam-McGalliard-USA.jpg 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam McGalliard<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You feel you are gazing into a snow globe where a couple shakes might stir up a few tornados rather than snow.

Like a pre-Raphaelite Ophelia, his drowned subject, young and beautiful, floats, nearly submerged, in a blooming marsh, face up, eyes closed behind her helmet\u2019s bubble of glass. Michael Chapman gives us strangely aimless, remote-feeling urban scenes, lonely even when populated with human figures, the way Hopper\u2019s always felt. Now and then, an Albers square appears or a lost circus bear makes a cameo appearance, as if each of these paintings were a John Irving novel.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10840\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10840\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10840\" src=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Michael-Chapman-USA-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Michael-Chapman-USA-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Michael-Chapman-USA.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10840\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Chapman<\/p><\/div>\n<p>ch<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Mackey offers more of his unsettlingly Gothic visions of fey children and skull-or-animal headed chimeras, not threatening enough to be visualizations of night terrors but weirdly almost soothing, the way I would imagine a vampire\u2019s request to come inside for a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Other painters take postmodern liberties with similar time-shifting but without the surreal fevered reveries.

In paintings with an exquisitely finished surface where mark-making has been completely effaced, Mary Jane Ansell presents, in different settings, a young woman in a suggested narrative, sometimes as a sort of Joan of Arc with hints of a vast army behind her. The contrast between the contemporary girl-next-door beauty and the antiquarian narrative and costume intensifies the impact of both the portrait and the setting.

Downey, like many of these painters, seems to be saying yes to what <em>he<\/em> most wants to see emerge as he paints, regardless of whether or not it fits with anything anyone else is doing in the art world. This ideosyncratic choice applies to many of the painters at Arcadia. It\u2019s a choice that Thiebaud made before he emerged, when he finally decided after much anxious deliberation to paint subjects others would have thought trivial or frivolous; the same choice Inka Essenhigh made before she became as one of the most original painters working today.<\/p>\n<p>The show is also replete with portraiture, figures, and still lifes each suggesting a world firmly recognizable but no less oneiric, as Bachelard would have put it. Floral paintings are a difficult feat, and many representational painters don\u2019t have the patience for it. All of the floral work is impressive in this booth, but two examples are exceptional: Daniel Bilodeau\u2019s peonies manage to convey exactly the texture and color of new peonies as they are just starting to bloom. The tissue-thin petals in his work are immense achievements of sustained observation and handling of his materials. His enlarged images of flowers are really cornucopias, celebrations of nature\u2019s abundance, but they are constructed with a remarkable acts of sustained, assiduous attention. Jonquils and narcissus are extremely hard to paint effectively as well; the required variations in white and yellow don\u2019t yield readily to a quick easy shortcuts. Jane Beharrell captures them in a simple still life that will remind everyone of the season about to return in a couple months.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10845\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10845\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10845\" src=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Anne-Christine-Roda-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Anne-Christine-Roda-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Anne-Christine-Roda-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Anne-Christine-Roda-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedorseypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Anne-Christine-Roda.jpg 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10845\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anne-Christine Roda<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mary Sauer, Miriam Hoffman, and Kesja Tabazcuk offer quasi-traditional portraiture but in each case the painter\u2019s consummate skill and originality of vision make the sitter\u2019s identity nearly inconsequential: the painting itself holds your attention because of the life it conveys. Each of the three artists handle paint quite differently but with skills so advanced the work looks as if it revels not just in the painter\u2019s abilities but in the quality of the paint on the surface. Anne-Christine Roda\u2019s image of a young woman wrapped in a white blanket could pass for a lost, newly discovered Zurburan, the work is so refined and so old-school Spanish&#8211;without looking at all dated. Dana Saltzman\u2019s image of a bowl filled with water and a cloth, sitting on uneven ceramic tile bearing a faint blue pattern, is equal to anything Richard Maury has done in still life. Sung Eun Kim\u2019s twilight city streets evoke the gritty romance and beauty of an American city\u2019s ceaseless, impersonal energy, and Caren Wynne-Burke\u2019s architectural facades with sky compete respectably with Christopher Burke\u2019s rooflines.<\/p>\n<p>The fair runs through Feb. 23, plenty of time to check it out this weekend.
