I’ve posted on fiber work before. Interesting to see it on my radar again so soon. Lots to read and some other shows and artists I will be looking at. Enjoy.

Al Loving
I’ve been following a hashtag on IG for Al so I can see snaps of his work that still gets shown. You can see from the first image why I was first drawn to him. Loving was well known for hard-edge, geometric abstract painting. However, he felt a tension between his work and his identity as an African American in a time of racial injustice, civil rights struggles, and the rise of the Black Power movement. In the early 1970s, he took a new direction with shaped, colorful, fabric-based works inspired by quilts.

Bridget Riley
Glad to see Ms Riley get a much deserved and well received retro. Hard to overstate her importance to the canon.

Women of Bauhaus
#tbt
Not surprising given its genesis in the 20s to read in this show review of the (not only) marginalization but exploitation of the women of Bauhaus.

Stephen McCallum
Discovered Stephen while reading Two Coats review of Gary Peterson’s newest work. Check out his site.

Morgan Blair
Juxtapoz nails it in the first sentence (and Two Coats concurs the new show is worth a look). I’m positive the images don’t fully capture the fact there’s actual and implied relief (Morgan works “with airbrush and sand or a matte medium“).
