Doze Green returned for his third show at LeVine's bringing with him a  stunning series of work depicting familiar figures in his otherworldly locales. His color work has grown by leaps in bounds these last few years and it's spectacular seeing a street artist hit the critical acclaim he justly deserves.

Josh Keyes's "Fragment" took up most of the main gallery with large scale paintings showing off Earth's creatures in various states of decomposition and decay. The work appears to be literal personification of what is coming if people don't start working with the environment rather than tear it apart. Great stuff from Josh.

My friend Sara told me to not to miss Saelee Oh's show, making it a point to tell me that she had a girl crush on her and her art, and it's easy to see why. Saelee's new works on paper, dubbed "Infinite Roots" are a both stunning and playful, illustrating spiders, flowers, and phantasmagorical lands.

The gallery opening, last Saturday night, was packed with fans of all three artists. Graffiti scenesters mixed with rockers and art lovers, as wine flowed through the galleries many rooms. All three artists were in attendance and each graciously spent the evening tagging and sketching in black books and mingling with the legions of art enthusiasts.

The show is running through February 13. Visit jonathanlevinegallery.com for more information.
