(From Artsy) Adeyemi (b. 1991, Nigeria) is a Neo-traditional artist living and working in Lagos. His mixed-media practice transforms materials such as pallet wood, fabric, leather, aluminum cans, and paper into layered compositions that balance figurative and abstract elements. Drawing on African motifs, symbols, and patterns, Adeyemi’s work explores themes of history, folklore, and personal and political narratives (and is not all abstract).

Isensee is an NC-born painter. Riad at Whitehot notes his newest at Miles McEniry.
I first blogged about their work early on (2018!), and att I made a note about how Neo-Geo almost ruined abstract painting (Warren has been making work since the 80’s- here is something from 2001) and that to my eye their practice is committed to formalism (writing that his work is too insistent on being seen to be a sign for some conceptual “agenda”).

Getting ready to teach the history of Abstract painting recently made me realize I’d never blogged about Piet, the founder of De Stijl and easily one of the most recognizable early Modernists.

Jacob Cartwright says that, true to its title, the group show “Precisely.” at Flinn Gallery (which also includes Nate and Sarah) is chockablock with the type of “precision-crafted paintings” Anoka and David produce.
BTW if you like graphic painting take advantage of my meta content. If you like duos, see also Luftwerk, Sestra Kuya and CHIAOZZA.
