Artforum- rightfully- notes Flora’s newest from her time in Venice in a space set up by #victorimiro “for invited artists to spend extended time in the historic city and make new bodies of work”. These are definitely abstractions although not clear she would call them nonrepresentational. Reminds me of Erin’s brushwork.

A few pages after learning about Ann Cathrin, I ran across the image below. Reading and looking more reveals she works through concepts as distinct bodies of work, changing her compositional strategy from time to time.

Artforum has words about Myra’s current series of textually deep work that underscores, I think, the potential of non-representational work to carry potent symbolism:
“Piecework refers to labor paid according to the number of items produced rather than the amount of time spent on the job. Often associated with the ruthless economic exploitation of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, this system …is sadly making a comeback—thanks to its versatility in allowing employers to get around minimum-wage and other labor laws…”

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.

Artforum says that Maysha is bringing us “the darker, freakier parts of living and the imperfect beauty of daily life.”

A living legend indeed #hyperallergic. If you like minimalism, here’s more as well as more of Carmen’s work.

Was reading this good article on Sol Lewitt and discovered he wrote to Eva suggesting she try making bad work.

Was talking about automatism with a fellow artist who surprisingly was unfamiliar. In addition to other good material on the topic the Tate’s online presence has this great article on Susan “discussing her work in the context of involuntary drawing, Susan Morris provides a history of her practice by examining the art of Jules-Etienne Marey, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso and Tacita Dean.” Her work deriving from data on sleep patterns is also interesting.

Another icon that like Abraham we have lost recently. She was known simply as Zarina, and for her symbolist semi-abstract prints. Her website is still up.

With their current round open for submissions I was looking through the website for the Hopper Prize and found this nice interview with Sarah on “the physicality of making sculpture, negotiating balance, creative catharsis & personal truth.” Links to her portfolio (not all of which is abstract/non-representational) and site in the article.

In addition to making good work that’s included in a virtual show has some interesting things to say about being a parent and artist during #covid19.
