Leonor Antunes

Antunes’ practice provides a unique contemplation on modern art, architecture and design through a reinterpretation of sculpture in a given space. Inspired by important figures in the realm of creation in the 20th century, and often influenced by female protagonists, her work begins by measuring features of architecture and design that interest her. She then uses these measurements as units which can be translated into sculpture.Embracing traditional craftsmanship from around the world, she employs materials such as rope, leather, cork, wood, brass, and rubber to create unusual forms.

Maria de los Angeles Rodriguez Jimenez

Maria (who shows with David Castillo) has developed an index of color relations to determine specific emotions, memories and spirituality. The colors can be autonomous or have a new meaning altogether when encountering other colors and the forms they inhabit. The artist’s work is about the history of her body (a Cuban born body) in a permanent state of displacement and exile. Her paintings try to express the state in which this happens. They are about the inability to belong in any defined structure.

Sara Garden Armstrong

Brett Levine Two Coats has words about Sara’s immersively curved space “Environment: Structure/Sound III” (first exhibited in 1979, the 2024 incarnation is at the Alabama Center for Architecture). Levine- (it is) “a poignant reanimation and re-imagination of post-Minimalism as a practice.”

Gloria Klein

Gloria came of age in 1970s New York and played a vital role in many artist-based initiatives in SoHo and on the Lower East Side. Her paintings can be read as Minimalist, Conceptual, and systems-based, but they are also indebted to the burgeoning support for “women’s work,” the Pattern & Decoration movement, and the Criss-Cross artists. Hyperallergic said Unwinding Unbinding at Anat Ebgi was one of the 10 shows to see in Los Angeles this June.
