newest is The Grid: Sacred and Secular at Solo. In Rosalind Krauss’s essay “Grids” (link is pdf) she argues that using a grid makes it possible for artists to produce very material objects and speak to the pure materiality of the work while at the same time implying a connection to ideas of spirit and “Being.” In Krauss’s argument, the grid makes a work “sacred and secular” at the same time.”

Pierre Obando

Michael Brennan notes of Pierre’s paintings, made between 2021 and 2025, in “Some Kind…,” that while his imagery is for the most part recognizably organic it is not easily decipherable, and draws some lovely parallels to Matisse (which makes me think of Josef) although they remind me more of Diebenkorn.

Nikolas Antoniou

like many artists from Helene Grace (go see The Gift of Attention at NCMA if you live in the Triangle or, soon enough, in Portland) and Ficre to Tamina and even locals like Pete, explores figuration and abstraction. About his practice he says that in his explorations abstraction gradually took precedence, leading me to delve into the creation of abstract landscapes. This unexpected shift revealed to me a fundamental truth: amidst the chaos that surrounds us, I am driven by a relentless pursuit of balance and meaning.

Soledad Salamé

(who shows with Goya Contemporary Gallery in Baltimore, and whose work is not all abstract) says her art is a conceptual and visual exploration of the intersection of science, technology, and social justice issues defining the age in which we live. Engaged with the political implications of environmental issues, my recent work maps vulnerable marginalized communities suffering the greatest consequences of natural disasters.

Michael Alexander Campbell

In his most recent works, Campbell employs wax, oil paint, and traditional techniques such as glazing and impasto. He exposes his canvases to the elements, allowing the weathered surfaces to coexist with areas of meticulous, classical brushwork. The result is a body of work that is simultaneously raw and refined.

Rafaël Rozendaal

Since the early 2000s, his vibrant animations have explored the aesthetic and conceptual possibilities of code, treating it as if it were paint. an innovator in the realm of Internet-based art, Rozendaal’s goal is for us to experience a state of immersion so complete that it becomes one with our physical world. His work will be shown at MOMA through this Spring.

Catherine Goodman

For London-based artist Catherine Goodman CBE, drawing and painting are meditative acts, whether performed in the silence of her studio or the landscapes that call her back time and again. She infuses her practice with inspiration gleaned from poetry, film, travel, and memory. Goodman and Ann C. Collins at Brooklyn rail met over Zoom to talk about Silent Music, Goodman’s exhibition at Hauser & Wirth that presents large-scale abstract paintings that pulse with her expressive brushwork and vivacious use of color.
