asianartists – Page 8 – Painting After Art is Dead

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.”

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.

Takuji Hamanaka

Hyperallergic has words about Takuji’s spellbinding prints. I think it’s a good adjective, too.

Shohei Takasaki

Booooooom puts the spotlight on selection of recent work by the Sydeney-based, Japanese artist.

Paul Horiuchi

First encountered Paul when I saw below at #sam in Seattle. His life is an interesting story.

Minoru Onoda

Currently the subject of a major retrospective at the Himeji City Museum of Art in Japan, Onoda has been increasingly thrust into the limelight in the wake of recent reappraisals of the Gutai group led by scholars and curators such as Joan Kee, Ming Tiampo, Alexandra Monroe, and Shoichi Hirai.

Chung Sang Hwa

Artforum notes that The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA, Director Youn Bummo) presents a large-scale solo exhibition of work by Chung, one of Korea’s representative monochrome-abstract artists. The exhibition Chung Sang Hwa intends to provide a retrospective of as well as a renewed look at the artist’s authentic body of work and contextualize it within the history of Korean abstract art.

Ha Chong-Hymn

I like the virtual slide room Return to Color from Tina Kim Gallery (the exhibition surveys the last decade of the artist’s practice with new polychromatic works that illuminate a return to color as well as a departure from his foundational, monochromatic Conjunction series).

Margaret Lee

Lee is one of the last artists an observer of the New York art world would expect to be going AbEx. Her photographs and sculptural readymades have mostly been interpreted as commentary on modernism and design, channeled through the digital surrealism of the DIS magazine era.
