Martha Jungwirth

Michael Brennan at Two Coats gave Martha a lot of words in his Letter from Venice Biennale. Click on the links and read the whole thing (Jeffrey and Willem get mentions). Jungwirth (b. 1940, Vienna) has likened her artworks to a diary that traces her physical engagement with the creative process. She sees her drawings and paintings as dynamic extensions of herself, where intelligent structures of lines and blotches emerge, propelled by her emotions and movements.

Leonor Antunes

Antunes’ practice provides a unique contemplation on modern art, architecture and design through a reinterpretation of sculpture in a given space. Inspired by important figures in the realm of creation in the 20th century, and often influenced by female protagonists, her work begins by measuring features of architecture and design that interest her. She then uses these measurements as units which can be translated into sculpture.Embracing traditional craftsmanship from around the world, she employs materials such as rope, leather, cork, wood, brass, and rubber to create unusual forms.

William Bradley

work explores contemporary and historical notions of abstraction. Composition is developed through collage and layering, growing in scale and depth into expressive canvases, providing a stage for three-dimensional shapes that allude to painterly brushstroke and sculptural form at once. Whilst formalist in nature, the resultant paintings’ titles and manner of execution allow notions of reference and recollection to provide the viewer with an entry point to the work; the experiential effect of gesture and colour, interplaying with shadows cast, to imbue the work with emotional content.

Jesús Rafael Soto

Jesús was a pioneer of the idea that a viewer could actually walk into an artwork and experience it from the inside, something we now take for granted, but which was revolutionary in its time. Born in Venezuela, it was in Paris in the 1950s that he immersed himself in the movements that were transforming Geometric Abstraction by using effects of motion and movement to bring artworks to life: literally, as in Kinetic Art, or metaphorically, as in Op Art, in which paintings or sculptures appear to be moving due to visual trickery. His works were realized on increasingly grand scales, so that eventually viewers could move within and throughout his vast sculptural forms. This made his work perfect for realization as grand public art, and so his legacy is visible across many cityscapes today.

Maria de los Angeles Rodriguez Jimenez

Maria (who shows with David Castillo) has developed an index of color relations to determine specific emotions, memories and spirituality. The colors can be autonomous or have a new meaning altogether when encountering other colors and the forms they inhabit. The artist’s work is about the history of her body (a Cuban born body) in a permanent state of displacement and exile. Her paintings try to express the state in which this happens. They are about the inability to belong in any defined structure.
