Byron Kim

Hyperallergic says that despite all we know about the environment and what we are doing to it, Kim arrives at another, less palatable realization: As much as we call the Earth our home, we are strangers here.

Keiko Narahashi

Two Coats has (some of the artists’ own) words about Keiko’s show with Erin titled the energy in the room which made me want to read it (you should, too).

Mire Lee

has been invited to Biennale and shows with Tina Kim. Her work is impossible to ignore.

#mirelee

is in Cosmic Geometries at EFA Project Space, which also has work by Carrie and Dorothea and Yevgeniya and Biren. Organized by Hilma’s Ghost, the show is a group exhibition of intergenerational and intersectional artists that examines the spiritual and aesthetic functions of abstract painting and geometry in art.

Hyperallergic thinks Jiha’s newest is an artistic breakthrough.

Choong Sup Lim

Lara Pan at White Hot interviews Chong about his oeuvre which combines traditional and contemporary elements in highly original assemblages, and thereby produces new abstractions that emerge from this particular process of creation.

Seulgi Lee

Artforum says Lee’s newest (Slow Water at Incheon) conjures incredible sumptuousness (visual and symbolic) via astonishing restraint—producing a free-ranging post-Minimalism born of collaborations with traditional Korean artisans and spiked with mischievous enigmas.

Rakuko Naito

Hyperallergic says Naito’s Op-inspired abstractions might have been an oblique way of dealing with feelings of displacement after moving to the United States.

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.

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.”

Anish Kapoor

Not a lot I could say about Anish that hasn’t already been said other than it’s surprising I’m just getting to blogging about him (realized he was missing when writing about Point of Departure which features him alongside Mavis and Tony and Donald and others).

Shaheer Zazai

BlackFlash Magazine’s December 2021 Issue Examines Islamic Art Traditions in Canada. In “Infinities,” guest-edited by curator and art historian Nadia Kurd, artists and writers discuss the influence of Islamic visual cultures in Canadian contemporary art. Shaheer gets a nice mention and an image.

Sheela Gowda

Hyperallergic notes that the work Sheela (and others) have in Fault Lines prove that abstraction need not be confined to the inner life of the artist.
