hardedgeabstraction – Page 20 – Painting After Art is Dead

Stephen Mueller

“My paintings don’t depict anything. I’m trying to reach that kind of experience where you are on the edge. There and not there.”

Artforum notes a recent, posthumous show at Barry Whistler (more).

Shizuko Yoshikawa

Shizuko is new to me, having caught this #Artspace piece in my RSS feed because I am usually quite drawn to Concrete artists’ work.

Ron Davis

George told me I should check out Ronald.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Leo Valledor and Zin Helena Song

Hyperallergic caught my eye with Leo’s work. The story of the Park Place Group is another wrinkle in the “primacy” of post-war New York… While some might think of Stella‘s (or Tony‘s) work, I’m more curious about how artists like Zin are taking this idiom forward.

Lee Seung Jio

Hyperallergic notes Lee’s particular reaction to the “second generation” question of Modernism. A few of Lee’s compatriots also get a mention.

Patrick Morrissey and Hanz Hancock

Funny that Op Art should pop into my feeds twice in one week. Patrick and Hanz collaborated on a solid piece that’s in Hard Painting x2.

The whole thing.

Annabel Andrews

I’m always interested in what abstractionists think about while they paint.

The exceptional #lizziecheathammcnairy at #matronsandmistresses has a great interview up in the context Claire’s last show at #sococharlotte, which includes some really sublime, new abstract pieces.

Discovered David because he’s in The Vista with Tomory and Alexander.

Nate Ethier

Artspace says we should pay attention to Nate. More

Sol LeWitt

What more can I say about the democratizing effect of non-mimetic modalities on the arts that would do justice to the rise of a night shift guard at MOMA to the rightful prominence Sol occupies as a conceptual artist*? Just read.

*Right- one should also note that, even though he abandoned the idea of a master narrative in art that preferenced painting, he didn’t abandon the notion that geometric forms are uniquely human.
