latinoartists – Page 4 – Painting After Art is Dead

Federico Herrero

In his most recent exhibition, Federico Herrero once again suggested open questions about what landscape could mean, but also formulated an evolving proposal of what already exists.

Saw below during a recent visit to LACMA. In the 1920s, Carlos Mérida was deeply committed to the Mexican muralism movement and to extolling the peoples and traditions of Mexico. In the 19405 and 1950s, however, he began experimenting with a greater range of styles, including abstraction. Increasingly distancing himself from the muralists, Mérida developed a dynamic, geometric style that is as much indebted to Cubism as to international postwar geometric abstraction.

Lygia Pape

Lygia Pape (7 April 1927 – 3 May 2004) was a Brazilian visual artist, sculptor, engraver, and filmmaker, who was a key figure in the Concrete movement and a later co-founder of the Neo-Concrete Movement in Brazil during the 1950s and 1960s. Along with Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, she was an important artist in the expansion of contemporary art in Brazil and pushed geometric art to include aspects of interaction and to engage with ethical and political themes.

I saw below at the Art Institute in Chicago recently, part of an exhibition of her prints.

Miguel Arzabe

Artist Miguel Arzabe weaves his cultural roots into paintings, quite literally. A singular process that is not just about applying paint to canvas, but rather research, deconstruction, and adaptation, takes place in his Oakland studio.

Carmen Anzano

Carmen sees the world “as ‘shapes and threads’, elements from which she continues to weave new shapes and emotions. She interlaces string, thread and ribbon to generate surfaces with which she articulates spaces and configures a cosmos of lines and dynamic tensions. These lineal frameworks dominate together with a colour scheme at times vivid, intense and energetic, at others harmonious, subtle and mysterious.“

Claudia de la Torre

Claudia de la Torre: Palimpsest at Miriam embodies the true character of this form through an interactive, site-specific installation that invites visitors to collectively produce the work over time. The work utilizes basic materials and prompts for engagement as the foundation for a performed drawing, print, and ultimately a publication.
