Painting After Art is Dead

Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch

Patricia has work in #artfields which like too many shows is virtual this year.

Giani Politi

was at the Armory Show (below) and apparently Frieze, too.

A friend turned me on to Iris’s IG feed when she was using cubes more as a motif (which I get a lot, big surprise). Have enjoyed watching the trajectory of her iconography- her newer work, also a great direction, is first below.

Joan Mitchell

As I wrote my recent blog about Lien, her acknowledgment by the foundation set up in Joan’s honor reminded me of a recent visit to MOMA where this institution has ensconced her piece Ladybug in their action painting gallery.

More and more

Robert Keith Black

Was looking through the show archives at Lee Hansley gallery, which are still up even though Lee passed last year, and was drawn to Robert’s piece below. If you’re interested in learning more about this Raleigh-based practitioner who used the Strawvalley design complex to bring Modernist Art to the area in the 1950s, you can check out Design Duet.

Lien Truong

In addition to being a local fixture as the head of graduate studies at UNCCH, Lien has also been a Joan Mitchell Foundation recipient (and like Brett and Ashlynn and several others I’ve blogged about, is in Front Burner).

Kenneth Proseus

If, like me, you regularly drive down #Raleigh Boulevard, you’ve seen Kenneth’s work. You should follow his IG feed, looks like some new things are happening…

Herb Jackson

As I’ve written about in my bio, I first began to think of myself as an artist in undergraduate school. Having spent that time in the Charlotte area, there were of course a number of Herb’s pieces around and about; as an aspiring artist, I was impressed at the time with the maturity of his voice, as his paintings are easily recognizable. Photographs also never really convey the physicality of the surfaces of his paining either. And like Jason he’s originally from Raleigh.

Jason Craighead

Although Jason is based in NYC now many of you know he is from Raleigh.

Brett Baker

Is in Front Burner along with George and Ashlynn and Barbara and Donald

Ashlynn Browning

Continuing in the spirit of focusing on local artists- Ashlynn, in addition to being a dang good painter, is responsible in large measure for Front Burner (which we can all go enjoy when Covid is over…).

Martha Thorn

Switching it up for the next week or so and blogging about local artists. Picking Martha first since I just saw below in her IG feed this week.

Richard Anuskiewicz

After blogging about Victor, my thoughts strayed to Richard, who had a lot of influence over me during a specific period of time (the first one is Richard, the second one is mine from ~2000).

Paul Kremer

When I was searching Pinterest for images to blog on Robert the algorithm threw up an image of Paul’s– I’ve followed him on IG for a while as should you! I’m really drawn to the crevices (probably some association on my part with early-generation video games or landscape rendering from ’80s cartoons).
