Ann Cathrin November Høibo

Was reading the print edition of Artforum when the image below grabbed me. Which lead to reading this interesting interview about the themes that- like the disparate materials she uses- are woven, literally, into her work.

Kevin Finklea

Kevin, like me, has made objects and paintings and despite appearances has no interest in geometry as a topic or content.

The link above is from #Geoform, an online scholarly resource, international forum, and curatorial project of #juliekarabenick that focuses on the use of geometric form and structure in contemporary abstract art.

Ruth Asawa

“Asawa lived an extraordinary life independent of her incredible body of work. Her path was a series of trials overcome and small paradises found—from internment camps in America to, later, a creative coming-of-age at Black Mountain College and in San Francisco, where she lived until her death in 2013.

Her legacy of generosity and openness to the world continues to grow along with her reputation as an artist, which was underappreciated during her lifetime despite everyone from Josef Albers to Buckminster Fuller declaring her genius indisputable. But that has been changing, year by year—just a few weeks ago, the US Postal Service announced they would be featuring Asawa on a new stamp out this fall.”

Carlos Cruz-Diez

I felt like I’d seen Carlos’s work before seeing the first piece below in #surmoderno. A little internet searching turned up some things that… yeah, I’m sure I’ve seen these in popular culture, definitely the ones in Houston. His work focused (he’s no longer with us) on the kinetic energy of color particularly the #moiré effect.

Suzanne Jackson

Although I don’t paint an interpersonal iconography I am perpetually fascinated by those who do. So glad the pictures in the article above were crap because it lead me to read more about this quite interesting #blackartist.
