gesturalabstraction – Page 4 – Painting After Art is Dead

Bob Neuwirth

Erik La Prade at WhiteHot had thoughts about Bob’s improvisational artworks, which are variations on a theme, in the context of the (posthumous) recent rerelease of his first solo album A Complete Unknown.

Awilda Sterling-Duprey

For Burnaway’s series CRUSH, Michelle Santiago Cortés details the dance-drawings and improvisational mark-making of Awilda Sterling-Duprey. Throughout her decades-long career, Sterling-Duprey has paid close attention to how movement appears in painting and how dance lends itself to its own kind of painterly gesture. She has distilled elements of both disciplines to their constituent parts, which can be broken down into kinds of information: visual, spatial, tactile, sonic, and so on.

Martha Jungwirth

Michael Brennan at Two Coats gave Martha a lot of words in his Letter from Venice Biennale. Click on the links and read the whole thing (Jeffrey and Willem get mentions). Jungwirth (b. 1940, Vienna) has likened her artworks to a diary that traces her physical engagement with the creative process. She sees her drawings and paintings as dynamic extensions of herself, where intelligent structures of lines and blotches emerge, propelled by her emotions and movements.

Gabriel Mills

Saw below during a recent trip to the High Museum in Atlanta. Gabriel is interested in abstraction as a mode of painting that offers an open-ended forum for posing questions about the nature of his everyday experience as a Black artist. For Mills, abstraction represents a rebellious way of approaching marginalized and countercultural political ideologies through unencumbered expressivity.

Liz Atlas

was recently featured on Conversations with Artists where she spoke about her desire to bring together disparate strands so they may, for an instance, exist in the same circumscribed moment (formal and emotive; painting and constructing; illusion and physical object).
