Erin Loree
Joelle Dietrick
has a nice piece in the #northcarolinaartistsexhibition at #CAMRaleigh. Clearly not all of her work is non-representational- I appreciate the way her work that is leverages an aesthetic borrowed from graphic design to create an intense relationship with viewers.
Ruth Asawa
“Asawa lived an extraordinary life independent of her incredible body of work. Her path was a series of trials overcome and small paradises found—from internment camps in America to, later, a creative coming-of-age at Black Mountain College and in San Francisco, where she lived until her death in 2013.
Her legacy of generosity and openness to the world continues to grow along with her reputation as an artist, which was underappreciated during her lifetime despite everyone from Josef Albers to Buckminster Fuller declaring her genius indisputable. But that has been changing, year by year—just a few weeks ago, the US Postal Service announced they would be featuring Asawa on a new stamp out this fall.”

Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch
Patricia has work in #artfields which like too many shows is virtual this year.

Iris Kufert-Rivo
A friend turned me on to Iris’s IG feed when she was using cubes more as a motif (which I get a lot, big surprise). Have enjoyed watching the trajectory of her iconography- her newer work, also a great direction, is first below.

Joan Mitchell
As I wrote my recent blog about Lien, her acknowledgment by the foundation set up in Joan’s honor reminded me of a recent visit to MOMA where this institution has ensconced her piece Ladybug in their action painting gallery.

Lien Truong
In addition to being a local fixture as the head of graduate studies at UNCCH, Lien has also been a Joan Mitchell Foundation recipient (and like Brett and Ashlynn and several others I’ve blogged about, is in Front Burner).

Ashlynn Browning
Continuing in the spirit of focusing on local artists- Ashlynn, in addition to being a dang good painter, is responsible in large measure for Front Burner (which we can all go enjoy when Covid is over…).

Agnes Martin
Like Agnes Pelton, Agnes Martin loved the desert and was a sort of mystic- certainly a transcendentalist. I think the definition of sublime in the dictionary should have an image of one of her paintings. Although many historians tried to call her a minimalist, she was definitely about being an expressionist- “When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.”

Agnes Pelton
Art in America has a piece up on Agnes’s retrospective at the #whitney. Her more… mystical pieces approach abstraction (some look similar to Hilma’s work) which is not surprising given the subjects of interest to her were abstract notions of the non-physical self (transcendentalism etc.).

Ruth Root
Ruth popped into my field of view recently because #hannahturpin curated her show at the #carnegiemuseumofart.
