Herbert W. Franke

Herbert was a pioneering digital Artist and Abstractionist (like Jennifer, he passed recently). This Artnews recap of his career is a good primer on his contributions.

Maki Ueda

catches the attention of Eva Díaz at the World Perfumery Congress (yes you read that right). Maki is an olfactory artist. As a creative that (tries to) focus on the viewer’s sense of sight, I am so here for her work- and she makes aromas whose application on a surface changes in black light (below)!

Rochelle Feinstein

Artforum notes Whitney Claflin and Rochelle’s enduring engagement—personal and political, abstract and hyper-specific—with living in America. (Further) Feinstein stitched worming lines of hand-dyed, rainbow yarn into a group of drop cloth paintings that include American Sampler / 2020 (all works 2022), in which she uses the threads to trace the contours of a puzzle of light-washed red and blue state-like shapes. The stops and starts of colorful embroidery are garish and hopeful, like a last-ditch attempt to metaphorically heal the nation.

Perle Fine

Hyperallergic featured a fantastic write-up recently on the great lie which is still too prevelant that the “important” AbEx painters were all male. Perle’s contribution is noted and like Jay she is (posthumously) included in Women and the Void.

Jay Defoe

is one of several artists who is (posthumously) featured in Women and The Void: Abstract Expressionism on Paper at Huxley-Parlour Gallery. Like Michael and Bingo, Mary Joan Defoe used a male-gendered nickname during the male-dominated era in which she began making work.

Jeremy P.H. Morgan

Jeremy’s work has been a form of visual research manifesting through collage and paintings at various scales. The focus of the work has been the fusion of various trajectories; the direct experience of the phenomena of the natural world, e.g. The Romantic Sublime tradition of European and American landscape painting, the Sung Dynasty tradition from China (Shan-Shui) with specific reference to the significance of the manifestation of Spiritual/Philosophical sensibilities as integral and intrinsic to creative visual processes.

Jennifer Steinkamp

Many folks that visit the NC Museum of Art know Jennifer’s video installation of a tree. Some of her work is also more abstract.

Bill Komoski

Komoski’s abstract paintings use mesh, grids, veils and other surface effects to produce complexly layered works. A trip through Artforum’s archive reveals an painter praised by critics and artists alike.

Chris Martin

Working from a heterogeneous array of cultural traditions, Chris Martin (b. 1954, Washington, D.C.) makes paintings that serve as living documents of the eternal present. He shows with David Kordansky among others.

Mika Tajima

Mika’s series Negative Entropy are abstract Jacquard woven portraits of industrial and information production. The subject of these portraits are factories that employ industrial textile Jacquard looms (a precursor to digital technology) and computer data center sites that comprise the new economy infrastructure. These works are simultaneously images and material records of their own making. Field recordings of production sounds were made at each site, then transmuted into digital spectrogram images using a linguistic audio software. Color was assigned to the wave forms, then translated into a pattern by a weaving technician to create a Jacquard fabric.

Gwen Hardie

David has a new project started online – Semi-finalist (because “first place in art goes to sell outs”).

Anyway the initial iteration is called: Quiet Advocates, and includes Osamu and Stacy as well as Gwen and others.
