graphicpainting – Painting After Art is Dead

Peter Marin

I’ve of course known about Peter for a bit as we live in the same city. Saw below on IG this week. You can find him on Saatchi Art and Artsy.

Matthew Ritchie

A student of mine chose Matthew for his writing assignment. I remember some amazing work he had at the CAM in Houston when I was in grad school so it was good to have a reason to revisit his work.

Add Fuel

Add Fuel is Portuguese visual artist and illustrator Diogo Machado (1980). A former graphic designer, his recent artistic practice has been focused on reinterpreting and playing with the language of traditional tile design, and that of the Portuguese tin-glazed ceramic azulejo in particular.

Piet Mondrian

Getting ready to teach the history of Abstract Painting 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.

First saw Sun’s work (not below) in Painting Buffet, an “art repost” IG feed.

Jeff Elrod

Saw in Artforum that Jeff has new (good) work up at Max Hetzler.

Hélio Oiticica

Lison gallery shows (posthumously) some of Hélio’s work. This Brazilian was one of the originators of installation art and conceptual art, establishing an influence still felt today. A poet of the favelas, or makeshift slums, found in Rio de Janeiro, Oiticica created installations that were influenced by the social circumstances of his environment.

Deborah Remington

Suzanne Hudson at Artforum takes the occasion of Deborah’s (eventually) forthcoming retro to revisit the arc of her career.

Kazimir Malevich

Probably the best known of the Russian avant-garde, he was also El‘s mentor. Hard to imagine an artist who did more simultaneously to mythologize the artist and democratize artistic practice.

Since I’ve been thinking about Modernists like Ben and Fernand it made a sense to look farther East. Lazar Markovich Lissitzky was one of several Russians that influenced the arc of Art early in the last century.

Dion Johnson

Had a Pinterest board and followed Dion on IG for a bit.
