Painting After Art is Dead

Featured

What you will find here

… are galleries of my paintings and installation work, posts about work I made or am making, and also (a lot of) blogs about other artists’ work that I find interesting and inspiring- mostly abstract painters like myself (if you’re looking for artists, scroll down, use the menu or the search bar).

While I am primarily a painter, I also create installation work. You can also use the menu to find images of paintings in progress, as well as some perspective on being an Artist with a big “A” after the historical narrative of painting’s progression has been shed.

Please sign up for email updates so I can build a mailing list!

Live on Instagram… live!

One of the artists who frequents my crit circle is Reuven Wallack. Recently he asked me if I’d like to try doing an artist conversation, and I said yes- I think juxtaposing a figurative artist with an abstractionist will be fun!

So if you’re not already following me on IG please do and definitely tune in Wednesday evening!

Emma Safir

gets a nod from Artsy. I can see why- (thought she might not call it “abstraction”) below is a mind blowing mix of digital collage printed on silk and vinyl, spandex, smocking, appliqué, pine, upholstery foam, silk thread, and flashe paint.

Curated by Nancy Adajania, The Unpaved, Crusty, Earthy Road is research-driven retrospective is a first for the artist, bringing together three decades of her tapestry production with digital prints of site-specific installations and research material.

Lawrence Power

Artforum says Lawrence is a painter of understated craftsmanship. His palette may be spare, but his techniques vary widely, from bands of impasto applied straight from the tube, to expansive translucent sheaths of pigment, to collaged pieces of canvas.

Dodda Maggy

Hyperallergic says many of the works in Iðavöllur are big and chock-full of issues and socially engaged ideas, like so much art elsewhere. Dodda gets a nice nod.

Dimensions at Golden Belt

10/9/21

Hey followers (all 240 of you, how lucky am I?)! I’m excited to add a new blog category to make it easier for you all to get updates on what I’m actually doing (I’ve been using the blog/post functionality in WordPress almost exclusively for posting about other artists). When I make updates to any portfolio pages on work in progress or when I complete new work, I’ll use this updates category to share with you. I hope it increases your interest in this blog.

I’m really excited about my first announcement, too! Just this last week, I was asked by Goldenbelt Arts in Durham to hang a show that will be up through the end of this year, which is also my first opportunity to show the cubes in public. I hope you can all make it out to Dimensions sometime soon!
