Juan Uslé

(Galerie Lelong says) Juan Uslé is widely recognized for vivid paintings and works on paper that engage the viewer through entrancing rhythmic patterns that exist in a dual state of being: embracing repetition while practicing singularity. Sourcing inspiration between memories lived and dreamt, these patterns can be evocative of the vibrations and movement of bustling New York City, where he lives and works for part of the year; echo the fluidity of bodies of water and unique sequences found in nature; or serve as a transcript of real time through a filmstrip-like recording of the artist’s heartbeat.

Jorge Rios

paintings are driven by process and rooted in the history of abstraction. He combines gestural brushstrokes, drips, and stains with graphic elements like grids and patterns, using highly saturated pigments on large canvases and paper.

Vasudeo S. Gaitonde

One of India’s most influential modernists, Vasudeo S. Gaitonde was at the forefront of the abstract painting movement in his native country; his work has drawn international acclaim since his death in 2001. Gaitonde was a member of the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group, which pushed against folk art traditions. He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1954 and 1962.

Francisco Masó

Luis De Jesus just presented Francisco Masó: Documentary Abstraction, the Cuban conceptual artist’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. The exhibition brings together new works from Masó’s ongoing series Aesthetic Register of Covert Forces. The series establishes a catalog and archive of acrylic on canvas paintings which serves as an abstract geometric guide for identifying the forces of power within a state control apparatus while simultaneously generating discourse on the militarization of Cuban civil society.

Angelo Savelli

ML Fine Art recently presented (posthumously) ‘Basically White‘ which was the first UK exhibition of works by Angelo Savelli. The exhibition focused on Savelli’s contribution to European and American modern art stretching a connection to other of his contemporaries. Eleven seminal paintings were shown alongside pieces by contemporaries such as Robert Ryman.

Jeanette Fintz

Jeanette Fintz’s paintings emerge from the collision and dissection of overlapping grid systems, using a choreographic process to intuitively edit and transform geometric fragments into expressive, unstable constructs. Informed by plein air landscape painting and Islamic geometric pattern, the work evokes nature, memory, and time through the tactile interplay of gesture and structure. She is showing at 68 Prince Street Gallery.

Alexis Vasilikos

“Involuntary Photographs,” emerged over the past five years and involves “a different mode of seeing.” That is, the results of unintended taps and stray gestures on his mobile device. Or, perhaps, the device’s own autonomous “dreaming”:

“Without traditional framing or subject matter, the resulting photographs form soft abstractions of light, texture, and motion, resembling Color Field paintings more than conventional documentary images. They exist in a liminal space between conscious creation and mechanical observation—photography without a photographer, vision without deliberate intention.”

Based in Athens, Vasilikos is deeply influenced by Eastern mysticism and drawn to the meditative and transcendental dimensions of image-making.

Giulia Cretulescu

gets some love from Art in America. Crețulescu recently completed a PhD program in graphic arts in Bucharest. Her training is evident in the armor-like outlines she stitches as if in bas relief. She started sewing after growing frustrated with graphic design work that, done on a computer, “goes so fast.” Working with her hands, she found “a place to breathe.” Then, doubling down on resisting efficiency, she decided against making anything functional at all.
