Beverly Buchanan

Dead Lecturer / distant relative: Notes from the Woodshed, 1950-1980 focuses on works by Asian American and African American artists whose approaches to abstraction provided alternatives to prevailing vocabularies for representation and resistance during the social movements of the 1960s and 70s, and for whom the parameters of visibility continue to remain a problem for thought today. Beverly is one of the selected creatives (also including Howardena and Al). Her work mined a strong motif for decades and slowly became more abstracted although never was true “abstraction.” Readers of who like below should also explore Jennifer and Nicky.

Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gaborone

Mirdidingkingathi’s paintings have a proprioceptive pull. Their gulfs of color are fed by the late artist’s sweeping ken of the sandbars, salt pans, and billabongs of her native Bentinck Island, off Queensland’s northwestern coast.

Richard Mayhew

Approaching American Abstraction · at SFMOMA is an exhibition of selected American artists that explores the diverse approaches to abstraction developed since 1950. Many of the featured artists (like Cy and Ellsworth) will be familiar to readers of this blog, while Richard may not, especially given that his “abstractions” are just that (they still retain clear landscape references).

Also, bruv is still at it, yo.

Readers who appreciate this will also enjoy Turner , Letha Wilson and Elliot Green as well as Clemente’s more recent work.
