nontraditionalmaterials – Painting After Art is Dead

Kapwani Kiwanga

like Myra and Torkwase and Kevin is creating a system of related formal elements that also refer to socio/economic relations between elements in American life.

Torkwase Dyson

has new work up at NOMA (through the end of the year) that examines the legacy of plantation economies and their relationship to the environmental and infrastructural issues of our current age.

#torkwasedyson

Glad to know that academia has mostly been doing a good job recognizing significant #blackartists- most of the creatives featured in Generations: A History of Black Abstract Art at BMA earlier this year weren’t new to me. Glad to “discover” Kevin’s work.

Stephen Maine

Stephen says about below as a series that “conveying paint to canvas by means of a system that uses printing plates instead of brushes would save a lot of time and trouble. This indirect, intentionally imprecise production method yields the great pleasure of surprise while providing a concrete way to think about color, surface, scale, seriality, figure/ground, original/copy, and the psychology of visual perception.”

Phillip Allen

Hyperallergic find Phillip’s newest an astonishing achievement.

Paul Erschen

Two Coats says Erschen’s paintings seem to describe the shape of a memory, drifting somewhere between the figurative and the unfamiliar.

Ann Cathrin November Høibo

Was reading the print edition of Artforum when the image below grabbed me. Which lead to reading this interesting interview about the themes that- like the disparate materials she uses- are woven, literally, into her work.
