Opening for Experiments in Form!

Hey Raleigh Folks, if like pizza, beer and Art you should put a pin in your calendar for next Friday, June 24, 6-8 pm and plan to come by 620 W South St for the official opening reception of Experiments in Form!

Curated by Charlotte Russell and on view at Hartwell in Raleigh, Experiments in Form features artworks by five Triangle-based artists, Sterling Bowen, Abie Harris, Mar Hester, Pete Sack, and Natalia Torres del Valle. (Charlotte says about the show)- Through their own unique process and materials, each artist experiments with spontaneity vs. control, interconnectedness, and the process of making. Below is a pic Charlotte caught of me installing an original composition made just for this show.

Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe

Artists of my generation possibly associate Jeremy more with his writing than his oeuvre: Saul Ostrow at Two Coats provides a take on his speculations on abstract painting in the context of a recent show.

Robert Yoder

Two Coats has a piece up about Robert and the art of being alone.

Scott Sueme

Scott is a Canadian artist raised in Vancouver on the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. He attended Emily Carr University of Art + Design in 2006, and has exhibited throughout Canada, as well as internationally. Sueme’s approach to painting is rooted in an exploration of materiality — specifically, the quality and perception of colour. His hard-edge painting techniques create a subtlety of depth that not only reveals a new resonance to colour, it also draws attention to the “imperfect” process of the human hand in a way that feels both nostalgic and intimate.

Pener

Also known as Bartek Świątecki is a graffiti artist by trade (like Bartłomiej and Mars) that now also makes art for the Art World.

Bartłomiej Chwilczyński

RETRANSMISSION (at Mirus) was one of the largest and most interesting presentations of Polish non-figurative painting outside of the country. Bartłomiej was included.

Mario Mankey

Mario Mankey is a Spanish contemporary artist who was born in 1985 in Valencia. His work pushes the boundaries of abstraction and realism. Nothing seems too big of an idea for Mario and he continues to push the limits of his own practice everyday. He shows at Mirus along with Mars-1 and Seleka.

Mars-1 – Mirus

Mars-1 seems to me to be channeling Mata.

Back at it

Had a great vacation recently that included time In Paris where I got to visit the never disappointing Pompidou Center, as well as some great galleries. I posted about it in my IG feed and will blog about all the artists at some point.

I’m also glad to be home and back at it on a few new things I have underway.

Above is a medium size piece based on the study on the top left and is a continuation of a larger piece from 2021 (also pictured). Planning to replicate the sporadic use of lighter and darker tones to make the viewer’s move around the structure.

Also started a small series that feels like a step in a new direction- more focused on line and color and less on layers and surface (top left is technically the first piece, finished in January of this year). FYI, I’ll be updating the “in progress” posts on both works as they develop.

And I’ve started some studies for some work on paper with fluorescent paint (and yep, the intent is definitely to show them as above under black light).

Marta Minujin

The Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) is delighted to present Born of Informalismo: Marta Minujín and the Nascent Body of Performance, curated by Michaëla de Lacaze Mohrmann. The third in a series of exhibitions on Latin American modernism and its legacies, this show examines the early work of trailblazing Argentine artist Marta Minujín (b. 1943), tracing her trajectory from informalist painting and sculpture to performance.
