Review: The Paradox of Evil (Il Paradosso del Male) by John Clements

So grateful for this nuanced interpretation of my work written by John Clements, “The Paradox of Evil (Il Paradosso del Male)”, published in Rivista Sottopelle, “The Step of Evil: Violence, Guilt, and Responsibility Beyond The Tale of Good and Bad” (Il Passo Del Male: Violenza, cola e responsabilità oltre la favola die buonib e cattivi). Written in Italian and translated into English (see below), Spanish, and French. I’ve been wrestling with morality and I’m glad someone picked up what I’m putting down. Nothing is ever black or white. The protagonist of one story is the antagonist in another. Perhaps the farther away we can get from any dualistic worldview the better off we all will be. Just food for thought. The inquiry goes on.

The Beverly Arts - Dialogues on the Knoll Panel Discussion

So proud to be included in the exhibition Dialogues on the Knoll in West Hollywood, curated by Kipton Cronkite. There is some lovely press shared by The Beverly Arts that recaps the recent open house and panel discussion.


“West Hollywood, California, USA. 28th January, 2026. "Dialogues on the Knoll" brought together 19 contemporary artists whose practices explored how art can ground us in a world of constant motion. Curated by Kipton Cronkite, with salon partner and artist Todd Williamson, the exhibition unfolded across four newly completed luxury townhouses, situated on a quiet knoll in West Hollywood, transforming the residential architecture into an immersive artistic landscape. The event included a panel discussion which brought together leaders from art, architecture, real estate, and design to consider how creative practice and the built environment intersect—shaping the way we live, gather, and find meaning in place.”

The panelists were Kipton Cronkite, Curator; James Frost, Frost/Chaddock Developers; Christopher Gialanella, President/Publisher, Los Angeles Magazine; Ryan Gordon Jackson, Principal, Studio Jackson Inc.; Paul Lester, Partner/Founder, The Agency; Leo Marmol, Artist and Architect, Marmol Radziner; Todd Williamson, Artist and Salon Partner.
