Nava Lubelski

While looking at the Mint Museum’s website for info on Thomas I found this good interview with Nava.

Rafael Vega

was interviewed in this interesting read in The Nation.

Kapwani Kiwanga

like Myra and Torkwase and Kevin is creating a system of related formal elements that also refer to socio/economic relations between elements in American life.

Laurie Fendrich

Two Coats posted a great essay by Laurie, who is also a painter, earlier this month. As a self-identified formalist I find myself also asking what good is abstract painting often as well (more of my thoughts on that here, recently updated as a result of reading Laurie’s essay).

Jennie Jones

Bomb has a good interview up with Jennie in the context of her newest show.

Loie Hollowell

Just wrapped up a solid show at Pace. I see influence from Agnes in her work.

Su A Che

A friend turned me on to Su’s IG recently. Read more about her work.

Bethany Czarnecki

Two Coats says (about Bethany’s newest at Massey Klein), while resolutely abstract from a strictly visual standpoint, Czarnecki’s work metaphorically zones in on human contact and cognitive limitation.

Maarten Rots

Konvergenz (article by Boooom) shows Rots has some formalist tendencies.

Esphyr Slobdokina

I can see why Peter Plagens was obsessed with the piece below.

Pablo Palezuelo

Was born in and ended his life in Spain having absorbed and interpreted European and American Modernism.

More (I like his work from the latter part of the 20th century best)

Thomas Downing

Was at the Mint a while back where there is a nice painting by Thomas, who I learned later told Sam that the Washington Color School painting wasn’t about what was being written by Greenberg.
