Below spotted at Expo Chicago in the Miles McEniry booth with a number of other creatives crushing it in the abstract “game.” Perusing his IG feed, looks like he enjoyed some of the work I did. I see some strong Overstreet influence at work (Rico is also a Black painter).

Larry Ossei-Mensah predicts to Artsy that abstraction by artists of color will become even more prominent in 2023. The genre, Ossei-Mensah believes, is essential to shifting the public’s belief that artists of color should only make representational work that is immediately legible. He refers to Atta.

Gene Davis

Blogging about Mokha (who was Gene’s assistant) made me realize I’ve yet to cover Davis who was a major figure in 20th-century American painting and whose contribution was invaluable in establishing Washington, D.C., as a center of contemporary art. Davis also played a significant national and international role in the color abstraction movement that first achieved prominence in the 1960s.
