Ben Dallas
paints on delicate wood constructions and assembled materials such as layered canvases. The mysterious design and the three-dimensionality of his works invite the viewer to spend time with the pieces, looking for marks, chromatic shifts, delicate lines, wax layers, and unexpected folds. Pie Projects (which also shows Sam and Richard) represents him.

Christopher Wool
Gwenaël at TUSSLE has words about the past and Christopher’s current choices. After unpacking all the troubling aspects of many of them they eventually point to the smallish wire sculptures which caught my eye and are “by far the most interesting pieces in the show.”

Gary Mesa-Gaido
Saw below at Artfields, about which Gary wrote “Fibonacci Series #2” is part of a larger, multi-part series of dye-sublimation digital prints on aluminum; each abstract image’s frame size is a 3 x 5 ratio, based on the Fibonacci Number Sequence. The digital paintings are made up of layers of scanned 3 x 5 negatives of photographs taken by my father during his years of service in the U.S. Air Force. Afterward, I generated digital paintings of the organic elements within those negatives and composited them together along with various gradient maps and textures I captured on various hikes during my own travels.More

Vasa
For EXPO Chicago, Taylor Graham staged an exhibition (which included works by Vasa, or Vasa Mihich) noting that “it is fascinating to explore the commonalities and differences among paintings and sculptures encompassing a range of mid-century into the 21st century abstract styles, including hard edge, stain, Light and Space acrylic sculpture, synchromist inspired, and kinetic sculpture.”

Artist Ummah
like Hiba and Hanane is included in Contemporary Muslim At of North Carolina. Pictured below is “The Invitation” (2023). With over 750 in person and online participants from the Triangle Muslim community, Ummah’s first community interactive art project asked for participants to make the intention to be “Invited” to perform the Holy pilgrimages, Hajj and Umrah. This traveling canvas visited several mosques and Muslim spaces, where participants inserted pins around the Ka’bah which represented themselves and their loved ones. While pinning their dot, they did Du’a for Allah to call them on this spiritually intense and challenging journey, the goal of which is cleansing of the heart and purification of the soul. The end result was a canvas symbolic of a community’s collective anticipation, yearning, and hope to be Invited.

Hyperallergic says (among other, relevant things) Jackson’s “anti-canvases” in the Whitney Biennial is their “most thrilling discovery.”

Diane Simpson
Laurie at Two Coats of Paint has words about Diane’s elegant quirkiness on the occasion of her show with James Cohan.
Michael Ambron
Ortega y Gasset Projects is pleased to present No Time, an exhibition of recent work by New York-based artist Michael Ambron in the gallery’s main space. Ambron’s wildly experimental approaches to painting include working with found substrates, collaged fabrics and packaging materials, surprising additives to his handmade paints, and unconventional tools and applications of various media. Michael Ambron not only uses paint to achieve the mark of a color, but to investigate paint’s materiality and broad possibilities.

Lynne Harlow
Lynne’s most recent (2023) show with Minus Space (home to Michael and Gabriele among others) was Lodestar, a new group of monochromatic objects intended to anchor and orient us in the world. Created from found rocks collected in personally significant locations, these pieces engage our surroundings through a lens of color-based and material-based reduction and a commitment to the power of monochrome.
