internationalartists – Page 36 – Painting After Art is Dead

Mercedes Pardo

Discovered this Venezuelan master will looking at Gilda‘s IG feed.

Martina Nehrling and Gunther Forg

One of the most compelling facets of abstract painting for me are formally similar but conceptually dissimilar works. Martina paints an urban energy where Gunther seeks to emote the experience of being a German.

Gilda Picabea

Looks like Lygia isn’t the only Brazilian Concretist having a nice moment!

Brian Eno

Posting about Doug Wheeler made me think about other artists who work in the realm of creating experience that I find to be a cousin of formalist painting. Most of us know this Brit from his musical oeuvre. What he says about his brand of empty formalism is right on, and we share a modality where some artist license/control is measured against chance as an actual tool.

Ko Kirk Yamahira

A friend from Portland saw Ko’s newest and got me excited also!

Fernando de Szyszlo

The title of this Artspace article caught my eye, since I recently posted on Hilma’s mystical, symbolic work, and is where I discovered Fernando.

Lygia Clark

Lygia is getting a well deserved revisiting. I think would have shared a lot with the Neo-Concrete movement: “Neo-Concrete artists sought to create a multi-sensorial space which caused the spectator to feel more acutely their own body and existence.”

David Diao and Paul Mogensen

This week in juxtaposes; David’s new work gets attention, and he likes Paul, so

Augustine Kofie

Interesting to read that Augustine’s newest work is a nod to high modern jazz since they look like they jumped out of the early 70s- I’ve also nodded to shared modalities between abstraction and jazz myself. And there’s a soundtrack for them!

Fabian Marcaccio and Jessica Stockholder

Two of my faves from undergrad, didn’t realize they had a show together in the late ’90s.

El Anatsui and Georgina Maxim

Saw El at Biennale and was over the moon to walk into NCMA and find that our state is now home to a great piece of his- his modality is similar to Elias Simes, another great hailing from Africa which NCMA has included in the permanent collection. Georgina is also an African artist, who’s work is included because, like El, it reminds me of another artist (Al Loving). Juxtaposing is fun.

Kenichi Hosine

I’m like a broken record- read Juxtapoz people.

Francesco Clemente

I find his newest clouds quite interesting. Certainly not abstract compositionally (well, not intended to be), they are about an abstraction of an idea. And as a painter it’s hard not to be drawn to their quiet poetry.

Related- they make me realize how much I’ve changed (I found the neoromantics to be pretty ridiculous when I was in art school and they were having their day).
