asianartists – Painting After Art is Dead

Su A Che

A friend turned me on to Su’s IG recently. Read more about her work.

Leo Amino

#hyperallergic covers a recent retro of this artist who was under appreciated in his time.

Hiroshi Sugimoto

I love me some artwork about light.

Ying Li

Ying would probably say these are abstractions and not abstraction. Buttery goodness regardless. From #hyperallergic (of course).

“Asawa lived an extraordinary life independent of her incredible body of work. Her path was a series of trials overcome and small paradises found—from internment camps in America to, later, a creative coming-of-age at Black Mountain College and in San Francisco, where she lived until her death in 2013.

Her legacy of generosity and openness to the world continues to grow along with her reputation as an artist, which was underappreciated during her lifetime despite everyone from Josef Albers to Buckminster Fuller declaring her genius indisputable. But that has been changing, year by year—just a few weeks ago, the US Postal Service announced they would be featuring Asawa on a new stamp out this fall.”

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).

Nakhee Sung

In these new works, Sung stacks bezeled volumes of color with variable gradients and opacities into aggregate configurations that appear to vibrate on a shared wavelength.

More (hint, below is a new direction)

Huntz Liu

Has a virtual show up, as well as a totally random interview.

Shizuko Yoshikawa

Shizuko is new to me, having caught this #Artspace piece in my RSS feed because I am usually quite drawn to Concrete artists’ work.

Leo Valledor and Zin Helena Song

Hyperallergic caught my eye with Leo’s work. The story of the Park Place Group is another wrinkle in the “primacy” of post-war New York… While some might think of Stella‘s (or Tony‘s) work, I’m more curious about how artists like Zin are taking this idiom forward.

Lee Seung Jio

Hyperallergic notes Lee’s particular reaction to the “second generation” question of Modernism. A few of Lee’s compatriots also get a mention.

Yayoi Kusama

is at the #Acklandmuseum. Many folks know her infinity chambers (her installation at #ncma in 2018 stole the show) but not her painting. Glad I got to see the one below at the #armoryshow since COVID19 might shut things down before I get over to UNCCH.

I also found this little piece about Donald Judd interesting, which starts off with a story about his reaction to her work.
