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.

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).
