Joshua Adeyemi

(From Artsy) Adeyemi (b. 1991, Nigeria) is a Neo-traditional artist living and working in Lagos. His mixed-media practice transforms materials such as pallet wood, fabric, leather, aluminum cans, and paper into layered compositions that balance figurative and abstract elements. Drawing on African motifs, symbols, and patterns, Adeyemi’s work explores themes of history, folklore, and personal and political narratives (and is not all abstract).

Choong Sup Lim

Ben Godward says, in the context of Lim’s show “Yard” (Madang) at Shin Gallery, that they don’t paint their sculptures but rather find the color in the city. Ben also notes that while Western artists look to use Western aesthetics to illuminate Eastern philosophy, Choong does the reverse.

William Tillyer

I first became aware of Tillyer’s work when I stepped into Bernard Jacobson’s booth at the 2020 iteration of the Armory Show, which is also when I learned that Jon Yau called William the most adventurous artist of our time. That’s high praise indeed considering he’s a contemporary of David Hokney, Howard Hodgkin and Richard Hamilton. Yes that’s means this blog is year another refresh.

Grace Palmer did a nice review of The Watering Place at Jacobson last Fall about “the Art world’s misunderstood beauty.”

Germán Tagle

(From Aninat Galeria) In the crossroad where fiction and history meet, German Tagle has established a place of observation with the intention of catching in his paintings those narrative fragments that allow us to reread the territory where our main cultural icons lie, this is to say, all the output of diverse images taken from paintings, of advertisement, movies, anyplace we can recognize without even being sure we have even really seen it.
