Sojourner Truth Parsons

Sojourner Truth Parsons’s paintings act as indices for moments of intensity and intimacy, amplifying sensation, texture and tone. In the artist’s compositions, flashes of saturated colour, flattened space and familiar motifs come into relation, fraying the border between interior and exterior worlds. She shows with Pilar Corrias.

Kim Yun Shin

In addition to Julie and Jeffrey, Artsy selected Kim Yun as one of the 10 artists who made the biggest impact on the art world this year. They emerged dramatically on the global art scene this year at the age of 88, after spending more than six decades crafting kaleidoscopic paintings and chainsaw-carved wooden sculptures largely outside the limelight.

Joyce Kozloff

who is best known as one of the founders of the Pattern and Decoration movement is the subject of a recent Hyperallergic podcast which focuses on many of the feminist threads in her work, no pun intended. Her work has taken several turns across her career including beginning as a full on abstractionist (like almost all artists of her generation who went to Art school). Given the importance of patterns on the arc of abstraction across the last quarter of the last century she belongs on this blog.

Jacqueline Lamba

was (posthumously) included in Weinstein Gallery booth at Basel Miami which Artsy says was noteworthy (the presentation traces Lamba’s journey through the dreamlike depictions of Paris during the Surrealist movement in the 1940s and ’50s to vibrant abstract landscapes that defined her later career, such asParis Panorama- below- which align her legacy with Abstract Expressionist figures like Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell).

Yvette Drury Dubinsky

like Chie gets a nod from Two Coats for constructDEconstruct at AIR in their newest NY gallery guide. Born of the interplay between solitary workings in her studio, the push-pull of her personal life, and the ongoing turmoil of the outside world, Dubinsky’s new work combines maps and silhouetted figures with abstract shapes created by flattened boxes using painting, printmaking, alternative photography, and sculpture on paper and metal.
