Carnegie Museum of Art is pleased to announce that the 58th Carnegie International will open September 24, 2022 and run through April 2, 2023. Andy was one of the many artists internationally invited. His loose figurative work has taken a turns towards being fully abstracted.

Zipporah C. Thompson

Shape Shifting is Zipporah ‘s recent at Artspace. Of the show: The ability of certain beings to shift physical form is found across many cultural histories. It is associated with a deep connection to natural and spiritual forces and is a process shrouded in mystery.

Renée Stout

gets noted in a wonderful article by Hyperallergic about two recent shows at the Philips Collection (which includes Alma and Sam and Sanford). Her work is mostly figurative and she also uses non-representational strategies like below.

Victor Ekpuk

Victor is an internationally-renowned Nigerian-American artist based in Washington, D.C. His paintings, drawings, and sculptures reimagine the ancient Nigerian communication system, Nsibidi, to explore a diverse spectrum of meaning addressing historical narratives, the contemporary African diaspora, and humanity’s connection to the sacred. Much of his work is figurative- his public art is this blogger’s favorite.
