internationalartists – Page 13 – Painting After Art is Dead

Eyal Danieli

Eyal is (posthumously) the subject of Michael Brennan‘s Embracing History in Abstraction from Two Coats of Paint, a good read that looks closely at the possibility for abstraction to, well, just read it.

Gérard Schneider

Perrotin recently presented Rhapsody in Blue, the first exhibition of work by Gérard in the United States in over a half-century. Pioneer of Lyrical Abstraction, Schneider’s aesthetic is raw and vibrant, physical and unrestrained, reflecting his intention to translate pure emotion into painting. The works on view will span Schneider’s almost seven decades long career, focusing specifically on the artist’s relationship with the color blue. #gerardschneider

A friend turned me on to Mikaels’ practice recently. More

Noël Dolla

Noël Dolla is a French artist, and if he is known at all in the United States it is for his participation in Supports/Surfaces, a collective of like-minded artists who in the late 1960s to 70s shared common ideas about the identity and symbolic function of art. Their project emerged as the political and philosophic debates arose from the student and worker protests of May 1968. These debates, which had their foundation in Marxist and post-structuralist thought, emphasized the questioning of all established norms and led to a re-evaluation of how we perceive, represent, and understand the complexities of the self in the world, ushering in the critique of modernism that came to be known as postmodernism.

Louis Cane

was a French artist that was part of the supports/surfaces movement along with Patrick and others (he still practices today and has moved toward figuration).

Patrick Saytour

I was recently reading the Hyperallergic article Celebrated and Unsung Histories of French Abstraction (which included a mention of Christophe) in which Joe Fyfe also notes Patrick’s practice.

Walasse Ting

has recently been the subject, belatedly in the opinion of some, of a retrospective. A colorful and wide-ranging retrospective of the Chinese American visual artist and poet might finally change that. The show, titled “Walasse Ting: Parrot Jungle,” opened on November 10 at the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and sheds light on an artist who spent nearly five decades living and working in Europe and United States across several styles and movements (he made both figurative and abstract works), but whose impact and influence was often overlooked.

Sherin Guirguis

Sherin’s new works are an expansion of A’aru // Field of Reeds which the Egyptian-American artist exhibited during her 2023 residency at Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design in Honolulu, Hawaii. Continuing her dialogue with contemporary and historical antecedents, Guirguis posits cultural identity and intersectional feminisms through an integration of oral histories, abstracted motifs and a consideration of minimalism and ornamentation in Egyptian aesthetics.

Christophe Verfaille

Hyperallergic had a good article recently on the celebrated and unsung histories of French abstraction. Christophe gets a nod along with Georges and Pierre (my personal favorite Parisian abstractionist is Bernard).

Antwan Horfee

Juxtapoz says Antwan’s newest is “another leap in this world of the Parisian artist Antwan Horfee, an abstracted, mind-blowing series of paintings, drawings and video work that, when you squint your eyes, has the remnants of graffiti and urban density but feels entirely new.”

Emilio Vedova

David Carrier at Two Coats of Paint published an interesting read recently about Emilio role as Venice’s Abstract Expressionist in the context of “Rivoluzione Vedova,” at Museum of the 20th Century near Venezia.

Laura Payne

who is a also a painter, has installation work on display with Sinéad Ludwig-Burgess at Okotoks Art Gallery through March 31. Of the work, Payne says she was influenced by “those subtle-but-vivid spectrums of colour in the cloudless sky at dawn or dusk, or the way that hot pink light in November hits the buildings in the city. What I guess I wanted to do is synthesize, artificially, this sort of feeling of witnessing an ephemeral light phenomenon in nature – I want to bottle it, put it in something.”

Harminder Judge

Imbued with an indelible vibrancy and depth, Harminder Judge makes transportive sculptural works that simultaneously reference Indian neo-tantric painting, as well as the abstract expressionist and color field movements of the 20th century.

Guillaume Dénervaud

Hyperallergic said Guillaume’s Ozone Station is one of several shows to see in NYC this November. Anchored by a sequence of gateway-like paintings, Ozoned Station features visions of systems and environments that collapse distinctions between the organic and the built, the microscopic and the galactic

Kim Tschang-Yeul

For 2023’s ADAA The Art Show, Tina Kim Gallery presented a historical presentation highlighting two seminal Asian and Asian-American artists: sculptor Minoru Niizuma (b. 1930, Tokyo; d. 1998, New York) and painter Kim Tschang-Yeul (b. 1929, Pyongannamdo; d. 2021, Paris). When Kim moved to New York in 1965, Pop Art prevailed as the artistic lifeblood of the city. It was in New York that Kim began his earliest experiments into painting the bulbous abstract forms that would later lead to his signature style—the waterdrop.
