artists – Page 132 – Painting After Art is Dead

Clyde Hopkins

David Sweet covers Clyde in issue #117 of AbCrit (which is a good blog you should follow if you love abstraction).

Gianluca Attoli

I like checking out Booooooom because even though it’s never about painting I occasionally find formalists like Gianluca.

James Benjamin Franklin

Bomb Magazine wrote up their recent studio visit to Jame’s studio.

Zach Jackson

Love these– it’s like someone stuffed the whole 80s in a blender.

Last point in this Artsy write up is true- I discovered KAWS abstract work first (GQ wrote about him recently as well). It’s kind of funny that the big “A” Art world still toys with an in/out paradigm discussion at all- like either choice (or success in either world) is about anything other than money. Being sold in a specific channel makes something Art? No, the time and weight of history does that.

Erin Lawlor

Two Coats of Paint right on the money with this write up. Kind of reminds me of Fran O’Neil in the sense that they appear narrative.

Sam Gilliam

Caught this great read on Artsy and decided to explore Sam’s catalog. 60 years of painting (and installation, and printmaking, and…) sounds like a dream come true.

James Noland Gandy

Like most 80s kids I remember Spirograph so Juxtapoz caught my eye with this one. I had to post them because ANALOG!!! Click through to his IG feed and watch some video.

Josh Sperling

Juxtapoz had a bit up about a current show of Josh’s work at Perrotin.

Harriet Korman

Like Stanley and Thomas, Harriet is OG and was included in The Unusual Suspects.

Rhia Hurt

Interesting to see how some artists’ work evolves off the canvas/paper into a physical form. I hope I get to see one of these up close at some point.

Beth Letain

Caught this interesting interview with Beth in ARTnews- curious to see these as the results of lots of drawing, and to hear how color and form can inform each other.

Lucas Dupuy

May have first seen Lucas Tumblring, also follow him on IG (along with a lot of other people).

Marina Adams

Found this article and was curious- thanks #artnet!- about whether I knew what they knew… I’m all about Erin O’Keefe and Sarah Crowner (I also follow Maya Hayuk on IG), and was thrilled to discover Marina!

Bernard Friz

First discovered Bernard Tumblring, and have followed him on IG. I love how eclectic his production is.
