graphicpainting – Painting After Art is Dead

Ramon Bonilla

A notion of space drawn from Ramón’s imaginary recalling of particular places provides the context and imagery for these pictures of the here, there and nowhere. He deals with architecture in a similar way to Kevin.

Suzanne Wright

Wright’s works in Gateways propose a contemporary “feminist alchemy,” forging alternative frames of reference and symbology with new perspectives that attempt to lead us to a re-vitalized kind of perception, equality, and empowerment.

Alison Hall

Hyperallergic says Hall makes no attempt to entice the viewer to begin looking and to look again, letting her methodical craft compel viewers to reflect upon their experience.

Bartłomiej Chwilczyński

RETRANSMISSION (at Mirus) was one of the largest and most interesting presentations of Polish non-figurative painting outside of the country. Bartłomiej was included.

Mario Mankey

Mario Mankey is a Spanish contemporary artist who was born in 1985 in Valencia. His work pushes the boundaries of abstraction and realism. Nothing seems too big of an idea for Mario and he continues to push the limits of his own practice everyday. He shows at Mirus along with Mars-1 and Seleka.

Mars-1 – Mirus

Mars-1 seems to me to be channeling Mata.

Minjung Kim

The nature of Kim’s work is such that it requires hours, often days of calm solitude, a room of her own, as her watercolours, calligraphy and paper works each require the exercise of extreme control, both of her breathing or of her brush.

William T. Williams

The National Gallery of Art has a recording on SoundCloud of About Abstraction: A Conversation with Melvin Edwards, Sam Gilliam, and William T. Williams that is well worth the listen.

Clark’s abstract geometric pattern artwork relates to zonahedra, non repeating tessellations and geodesics.

Lauren Quin

Still relatively fresh out of art school, painter Lauren Quin is already a hot commodity with works recently soaring hundreds of thousands above asking price for instance at TWO x TWO for Aids and Art in Dallas. It doesn’t hurt that Quin’s electrifying visual language is unlike any other.

Caroline Roberts

Jeff Hamada interviews Caroline for Booooooom!. Her work is sometimes figurative and often has a digital component.
