Kristin Farr

For years, Kristin Farr has been creating a balance of folk and op-art tradition. She notes always that her work is inspired by “folk art, synesthesia and magic.”

Andrew Schoultz

Juxtapoz is all about Andrew’s newest calling it a fresh, time-consuming body of maximal work.

Dadamaino

Dadamaino (Eduarda Emilia Maino) like Wook-Kyung is in Women in Abstraction.

…resolute leader of Mexican Op-Art, has died, aged 89. After causing a sensation early in his career in the 1960s, the sculptor and visual artist retreated from the gallery scene, and was only recently re-acknowledged.

Susie Rosmarin

When I was in grad school I saw Susie talk at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston as a part of Abstract Painting, Once Removed— appears some years later she had a solo show there as well. Her work process has always been quite disciplined and it appears the monochromatic pieces of the early 2000s have given way to a broader palette (btw if you like these you’ll also like Sanford and Rob).

Paul Corio

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

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.

Carlos Cruz-Diez

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.
