Antonietta Grassi

Overlaying candy-colored, geometric prisms with glimmering networks of lines that weave through and around them, painter Antonietta Grassi could easily be taken for the love child of Josef and Anni Albers. Yet while underscoring the contiguity of modernist composition and traditional craft, her exquisite abstractions also demonstrate the visual similarities between loom work and computer code.

David Pollack

Structure and Imagery has an interview with the Brooklyn-based painter titled Let the Painting Build Itself.

Gerhard Richter

Reading about Tamina made me think about other artists that have exercised figurative and abstract modalities simultaneously (in Gerhard’s case with high visibility).

Lydia has been a fav for a while. I’ve thought of her as related to Light and Space with work like below, and much of her work is also minimalist as Sophie Haigney at Artsy notes when calling our attention to the rich history of women artists whose work is of this modality.

Tracey Emin

Xavier Hufkens at Artsy has words about Tracey’s newest. Known for more literal work, these newest are abstractions if not abstraction (“…rather than painting literal depictions of precise events, Emin captures the emotions they awaken”).

Rob Ventura

Futura2000

When Juxtapoz pays attention so do I. Since I wasn’t familiar with this legend by name (though we all have likely seen some of his production- I know I’ve listened to Psyence Fiction a lot), I did some more reading as well.

Louise Fishman

Artforum notes “Ballin’ the Jack,” and also that Louise began “her practice at the height of Abstract Expressionism; Fishman asserted herself as a queer feminist Jewish woman within the artistic milieu of the time. Her atmospheric spaces and muscular articulations recount the urgency of her self-expression, and speak to the dynamic forward motion of ballin’ the jack, or going full-speed.”
