Karin Davie

still makes luscious paintings (thanks Amanda at Two Coats). I’ve previously blogged about her work and made a Pinterest “gallery” (below is from the #armoryshow in 2020).

I remember that she was having her first good art world moment when I was in undergrad. It’s often weird what sticks in your head but I still remember a cover of Art in America with one of her paintings.

Meg Lipke

Lawre Stone shouts out Meg’s newest noting they make enormity relatable.

This blog also represents a change for me. I posted about Meg once already in 2019 noting at the time the work was “one of the most interesting takes on the question of what is painting I’ve seen recently”- this is her IG post to which I linked. Prior to, well, today, I’ve typically avoided writing about an artist more than once, as a big part of this practice for me has been discovering new work or researching the canon. And, I have realized that keeping this catalog fresh is a legitimate way to pay respect to creatives that are working to stay relevant, so this will probably not be the last time I revisit a painter or other creative.
