graphicpainting – Painting After Art is Dead

Cat Spilman

is a Hopper Prize finalist. (Artsy says) Spilman’s work addresses the themes of distance and separation, belonging, modern feminism, and motherhood.

Roberto Jamora

like Alexandra gets a nod in the newest South edition of New American Paintings.

#robertojamora

(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).

Peter Schuyff

was interviewed recently by Noah Becker, founder and writer at Whitehot Magazine, in the context of his newest in London at Massimo de Carlo.

Warren Isensee

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”).

Piet Mondrian

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.

More on How Piet Mondrian’s Abstractions Became a New Way to See the World.

Anoka Faruqee & David Driscoll

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.

Lucia Di Luciano

ArtNews notes Lucia’s recent passing. An Italian painter associated with the Arte Programmata movement of the 1960s, Di Luciano is known mainly for her abstractions of the 1960s, which are often composed of gridded black and white patterns.
