opart – Painting After Art is Dead

Paul Corio

I’ve followed Paul on IG and see he is in Chrysalistasis with Amy.

Bill Brown

Also has a nice piece in #ArtFields.

Richard Anuskiewicz

After blogging about Victor, my thoughts strayed to Richard, who had a lot of influence over me during a specific period of time (the first one is Richard, the second one is mine from ~2000).

Victor Vasarely

So yeah it’s probably pretty non-shocking to anyone who knows my work that I think about Victor’s work pretty often.

I felt like I’d seen Carlos’s work before seeing the first piece below in #surmoderno. A little internet searching turned up some things that… yeah, I’m sure I’ve seen these in popular culture, definitely the ones in Houston. His work focused (he’s no longer with us) on the kinetic energy of color particularly the #moiré effect.

Lee Seung Jio

Hyperallergic notes Lee’s particular reaction to the “second generation” question of Modernism. A few of Lee’s compatriots also get a mention.

Patrick Morrissey and Hanz Hancock

Funny that Op Art should pop into my feeds twice in one week. Patrick and Hanz collaborated on a solid piece that’s in Hard Painting x2.

Takuji Hamanaka

A title like Shaking Up Op Art would have caught my eye even if I didn’t see it was from #hyperallergic

Rob de Oude

I’ve seen Rob‘s work in a few places lately including Anne Russinof‘s IG feed.

Tomma Abts

Bridget Riley

Glad to see Ms Riley get a much deserved and well received retro. Hard to overstate her importance to the canon.

Matthew Abbott

Sorry to discover Matthew because his work had come to an end.

Rebecca Kaufman

If you don’t read Juxtapoz why?

James Noland Gandy

Like most 80s kids I remember Spirograph so Juxtapoz caught my eye with this one. I had to post them because ANALOG!!! Click through to his IG feed and watch some video.

James Flynn

I did a double take when I saw the synopsis for an article titled Surrealism and the Subjective with the image below. The connection to and use of automatism- some would just call it “intuition”- by practitioners of abstraction is well documented and in this instance striking given the technical rigor of work whose apparent premise of planning belies the use of chance.
