Painting After Art is Dead

Yoshihara Jirō

Doesn’t seem right to blog about Georges and not mention Guita, which means noting Yoshihara.

Saerom Yoon

Saerom is an artist based in Seoul, South Korea. His work is inspired by the effortless beauty of nature, particularly the colors of both sunset and sunrise. He wants his sculptural furniture to have a similar appearance and feel as a water color painting. Furthermore, he hopes to express natural textures in his work; such as the interplay of clouds, calm water, rippling waves, frozen ice and the bark of trees.

Georges Mathieu

Seeing George’s name in Artforum recently was the first time in a while. Here’s another take on the survey of one of the fathers of European lyrical abstraction linked above.

Liz Nielsen

Artforum says Liz’s newest evoke Frankenthaler and the saturated hues of her photographs seem to simultaneously protrude and recede into space, yielding surprisingly tactile visual sensations.

Stephen Neidich

Artforum says Stephen’s kinetic sculptures are made of industrial metal objects and tools found in the studio and the outside world. They leverage our familiarity of everyday objects against experience and performance of making art. These gestural spinning and rotating sculptures make plain how, and from what materials they are made, the acrobatics of their production.

Praneet Soi

Artforum says (about Praneet’s newest) “avian motifs punctuate the exhibition, which is rich in references to the artist’s life and research.”

Véronique Jansseune

Like Alexander is a Bandito fellow.

Mario Morales Astudillo

Mario shows with Contemporaneo in Asheville.

Mira recently showed Psychic Nerve at Chapter NY. Many of the works are figurative abstractions derived from personal and intuitive sources- Dancy’s practice engages and recalibrates expressions of the female body across multiple mediums—painting, mural, drawing, and neon.

Chakaia Booker

like Michael shows across the country, and with Momentum Gallery.

More and More (second is her IG feed which you should follow- her Afro futurist public sculpture, as pointed out in the first link, is not of this world)
