RIP to a real painter’s painter.

Barbara Campbell Thomas

NC-based, Two Coats likes her newest show at the Painting Center.

Erik Minter

Booooooom! wrote two paragraphs about Erik’s work and then decided to let it speak for itself- I agree.

Rachelle Bussierres

Booooooom! puts the spotlight on Rachelle’s intriguing work (similar in some ways to Erin Okeefe and Debra Ramsay).

Stephen McCallum

Discovered Stephen while reading Two Coats review of Gary Peterson’s newest work. Check out his site.

#stephenmccallum

Juxtapoz nails it in the first sentence (and Two Coats concurs the new show is worth a look). I’m positive the images don’t fully capture the fact there’s actual and implied relief (Morgan works “with airbrush and sand or a matte medium“).

Mike Henderson

Congrats to Mike on his recent Artadia Award, recognizing his significant career.

Donna Huanca

Artsy says Donna’s work at London Frieze week is best-in-show status.

Great interview with Mary in #bombmagazine. Really want to see one of these in the reals!

Sources of good content

These are the primary ezines I read- none are “subscription” (like Artforum for example) but all have email lists and you can give financial support to any of them! If you are subscribed to this blog, the majority of artists that I mention I discover (or discover more about) on these platforms.

Hyperallergic (John Yau writes for these guys)

You can also sign up for Artsy– their site will allow you to follow artists and galleries and they often publish “people to watch” lists.

There are also some good blogs you can follow:

And these Instagram feeds are pretty good sources of abstract painting, too:

Helene Herzbrun and Grace Hartigan

#TBT

Hyperallergic paired these two recently, underscoring that there were contributions to the canon outside of the group known as the Ninth Street Women and the Washington school of color. I wasn’t familiar with Grace’s (RIP) work from the early ’70s. The images link to Pinterest “galleries.”

Patrick Alston

I’m occasionally tempted to title pieces- given the socio-political interests Patrick engages it seems necessary in this case.

Louise P. Sloan and Rusty Shackleford

I think it’s interesting to post two artists side by side some time- in this case because they use a similar approach to mark making with different results.

Found Louise’s Instagram profile via a hashtag and she has of course has a site.

Rusty is in both places, too.
