internationalartists – Painting After Art is Dead

J.M.W. Turner

This Artforum article spoke to me, having recently been in Texas. Wish I had made it to Dallas to see the show but I did get to see below speaking of inspiring sunsets.

Clearly, Turner was not an abstractionist (romantic is the term the canon demands we use). Particularly in his later life, Turner painted many pictures exploring the effects of the elements: wind, rain, snow, sea, and storms.

Speaking of romantics and clouds…

Nikola Olić

Sasha Bogojev at Juxtapoz talks with Nicola about how the subjective experience of our imminent surroundings is providing infinite ways of interacting with it, but also, exploring, and capturing or depicting it.

If you like this (art that is photographic contemplations of the formal qualities of buildings) you should check out Gianluca and Matthieu.

Mongezi Ncaphayi

Artsy says Mongezi is one to watch.

Sophie Taeuber-Arp

Laurie Fendrich at Two Coats covers the recent survey of Sophie’s work at MOMA, pointing out that calling her “multidisciplinary” doesn’t quite encompass her.

Yoshihara Jirō

Doesn’t seem right to blog about Georges and not mention Guita, which means noting Yoshihara.

Georges Mathieu

Seeing George’s name in Artforum recently was the first time in a while. Here’s another take on the survey of one of the fathers of European lyrical abstraction linked above.

Praneet Soi

Artforum says (about Praneet’s newest) “avian motifs punctuate the exhibition, which is rich in references to the artist’s life and research.”

Véronique Jansseune

Like Alexander is a Bandito fellow.

Mario Morales Astudillo

Eugenio Granell

gets a nod from Hyperallergic (RIP). Not really an abstractionist like Matta but certainly made work that were abstractions.

#eugeniogranell

is a self-taught artist and graphic designer. At 17 he started working as a tattoo artist, opening his own shop and an alternative culture magazine. He’s also a prior Banditto Art fellowship winner.

Ander Sagastiberri

Artforum says the question posed by the title of Ander Sagastiberri’s solo exhibition “I Do Have Seen Some Objeto Volador No Identificados Do You?” looms over the twenty-one untitled paintings like a garbled transmission from outer space. The disorienting effect of the wonky half-translation extends to the work itself, which is vexingly shrunken.

Anish Kapoor

Not a lot I could say about Anish that hasn’t already been said other than it’s surprising I’m just getting to blogging about him (realized he was missing when writing about Point of Departure which features him alongside Mavis and Tony and Donald and others).

Lily de Bont

like Kathleen has work in Mutations, part one; The Canvas at Transmitter.
