recently showed Squish at Tracy Morgan (with the use of simple shapes and a limited color palette, these works explore the visceral experience of living at this current moment).

Juan Logan
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Juan Logan lives and works in Belmont, North Carolina. Logan’s artworks address subjects relevant to the American experience. At once abstract and representational, his paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and videos address the interconnections of race, place, and power. They make visible how hierarchical relations and social stereotypes shape individuals, institutions, and the material and mental landscapes of contemporary life.

Ruth C. Smith
Ruth states that her creative process begins with “designing my work digitally. This gives me the opportunity to experiment and make mistakes while also setting up my designs to be laser cut in the process. These designs are typically geometric in nature, surfacing the hidden yet simple structures behind people or moments – a person sitting in a chair or a moon rising over a rooftop.”

Cindy Morefield
I don’t know most or even many of the artists I post about personally. I’m fortunate Cindy is an exception. Many of you who are #ncartists probably saw some of her rubbings at Greenhill recently- it’s the body of work she’s focused on since I’ve known her and they are subtle, intentional Modernism at it’s best. We’ve also done an IG live artist chat if any of you think you can listen to me talk for an hour…
