Diana is Syrian-born and NY-based. I first encountered her work at the Armory Show.

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.

Ethan Cook
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.

Gemma Smith
A few pages after learning about Ann Cathrin, I ran across the image below. Reading and looking more reveals she works through concepts as distinct bodies of work, changing her compositional strategy from time to time.

Myra Greene
Artforum has words about Myra’s current series of textually deep work that underscores, I think, the potential of non-representational work to carry potent symbolism:
“Piecework refers to labor paid according to the number of items produced rather than the amount of time spent on the job. Often associated with the ruthless economic exploitation of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, this system …is sadly making a comeback—thanks to its versatility in allowing employers to get around minimum-wage and other labor laws…”

Ann Cathrin November Høibo
Was reading the print edition of Artforum when the image below grabbed me. Which lead to reading this interesting interview about the themes that- like the disparate materials she uses- are woven, literally, into her work.

Maysha Mohamedi
Artforum says that Maysha is bringing us “the darker, freakier parts of living and the imperfect beauty of daily life.”

Carmen Herrera
A living legend indeed #hyperallergic. If you like minimalism, here’s more as well as more of Carmen’s work.

Kevin Finklea
Kevin, like me, has made objects and paintings and despite appearances has no interest in geometry as a topic or content.
The link above is from #Geoform, an online scholarly resource, international forum, and curatorial project of #juliekarabenick that focuses on the use of geometric form and structure in contemporary abstract art.
