Sharon Butler notes that in “The Vulnerable Paintings,” recently on view at OSMOS Address, Michele has decisively found her voice. After working on rigid aluminum panels for years, Araujo has shifted to sheets of vellum, unapologetically embracing the beauty of color and the seductive nature of process. The result is a handsome and satisfying kind of arrival.

Astri is an artist and educator based in Boise, Idaho who was recently recognized by the Hopper Prize. Her practice is born of a sense of playfulness, and engages with craft as a language, family histories, the passage of time, and daily domestic tasks (like compost, cycling the old with the new to create fertile territory).

Olivia is a Hopper Prize winner. She says glass is always present in her work. Paired with drawing and painting, and used in a collage-like manner, it’s there to call framing into question.

BmoreArt notes Ainsley’s exhibition Raktism and Metachaos. Burrows’ practice mainly uses two methodologies: NeoChaos and Raktism. The former is characterized by expressive gestures and lines, and deep, passionate swaths of color. With it, he explores the reverberations of a history that continues to affect him, showing how the past is alive and how we must make its legacy visible.

Adam Simon at Two Coats pays respect to Raphael Rubenstein’s take on Paul and also notes that one tends to take in a Pagk canvas quickly, making it easy to miss the many ways in which his false starts, reiterations, miscues, and reworkings belie his apparent minimalism and austerity.

Mary Sargent at Two Coats of Paint posits that Renée’s recent work (from “Behind the Pale,” a solo show at Prince Street Gallery ) has developed an intensely methodical art-making process and produced a luminous body of work that seems to transcend the frustrations and anxieties of contemporary life.
