Katy Crowe and Coleen Sterritt

I can see why Ron Linden paired Katy’s paintings and Coleen’s sculptures at Los Angeles Harbor College Fine Arts Gallery (as does Two Coats)- if meticulously flippant isn’t a phrase it should be.

Phillip Allen

Hyperallergic find Phillip’s newest an astonishing achievement.

Paul Erschen

Two Coats says Erschen’s paintings seem to describe the shape of a memory, drifting somewhere between the figurative and the unfamiliar.

Terry Winters

Always fun to find an idea for a blog in your own Pinterest profile.

It would be hard to overstate how much I was enthralled with the work that Terry was making in the late ’90s as I was beginning grad school (example below).

Patrick Jones

AbCrit has some of Patrick’s own words up about his own work and process during lockdown. His love for and embrace of Modernist modalities is refreshing.

Manuel Mathieu

Manuel (who I first discovered at the Armory Show) is a contemporary Haitian visual artist best known as a painter of abstract works that often evoke figurative shapes in nondescript environments. Mathieu draws from Haitian visual cultures and from Western art movements such as expressionism and existentialism.

Artsy says Ethan is one to watch– easy to imagine these works “characterized by their meditative, process-focused qualities and limited color palettes” have a physicality that pictures can not capture.

Candida Alvarez

Artsy notes Candida’s newest work, which has left the wall- like Lien she is a Joan Mitchell foundation alumn.

Flora Yukhnovich

Artforum- rightfully- notes Flora’s newest from her time in Venice in a space set up by #victorimiro “for invited artists to spend extended time in the historic city and make new bodies of work”. These are definitely abstractions although not clear she would call them nonrepresentational. Reminds me of Erin’s brushwork.
