latinoartists – Painting After Art is Dead

Ernesto Mallard

…resolute leader of Mexican Op-Art, has died, aged 89. After causing a sensation early in his career in the 1960s, the sculptor and visual artist retreated from the gallery scene, and was only recently re-acknowledged.

Peter Marin

I’ve of course known about Peter for a bit as we live in the same city. Saw below on IG this week. You can find him on Saatchi Art and Artsy.

Add Fuel is Portuguese visual artist and illustrator Diogo Machado (1980). A former graphic designer, his recent artistic practice has been focused on reinterpreting and playing with the language of traditional tile design, and that of the Portuguese tin-glazed ceramic azulejo in particular.

Hélio Oiticica

Lison gallery shows (posthumously) some of Hélio’s work. This Brazilian was one of the originators of installation art and conceptual art, establishing an influence still felt today. A poet of the favelas, or makeshift slums, found in Rio de Janeiro, Oiticica created installations that were influenced by the social circumstances of his environment.

Miguel Díaz

Miguel Díaz aka Sekone, is a multidisciplinary Galician artist who started painting graffiti in 1996, in Vilagarcía, Spain. I agree with Boom that the series of collages he’s been sharing on Instagram are quite refreshing.
