There are echoes of a slow-burning Lucinda Williams record in the work of Kelly Lynn Jones. Raised in the suburbs of California, Jones gives a much-needed corrective for the nihilistic sheen that Botox and convertibles have given that slice of the West. "A New Frontier" (opening at LA's Little Bird Gallery this Saturday) is an exhibition of Jones' paintings that (instead of taking cheap spots at the construct of American neighborhoods) explores the universal isolation of these communities.
