Kim Uchiyama

I first encountered Irene’s mathematically-inspired work when looking at a write up about Blurring Boundaries: The Women of American Abstract Artists, 1936 – Present on view now at South Bend Museum of Art (which also includes Alice and Esphyr).

Susie Rosmarin

When I was in grad school I saw Susie talk at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston as a part of Abstract Painting, Once Removed— appears some years later she had a solo show there as well. Her work process has always been quite disciplined and it appears the monochromatic pieces of the early 2000s have given way to a broader palette (btw if you like these you’ll also like Sanford and Rob).

Monique Prieto

Blogging about Aaron inspired me to look up info on one of the shows he was in at the CAM in Houston- I mentioned in that blog this was sort of a movement.

Artforum dove in as well (Monique was on the cover of the issue in which the essay linked above appeared). What I enjoy(ed) about that part of her oeuvre was how it could be serious and not at the same time (I do think contradiction is fun and serious).

Since this was all happening at the time I was in grad school I’m gonna go down that lane for the next week or so. Oh- second image is what she’s up to these days.

Judith Lauand

Judith is new to me as is Geometricae, where I first encountered her work.

Aaron Parazette

I got to take some classes with Aaron when I was at the University of Houston. At the time he was in the midst of a “movement” I can’t describe any better I think than cool abstraction. It was so refreshing after my somber undergrad experience. More on that.
