Yuan-Wen is an artist originally from Taiwan who has been living in Barcelona since 2008. Her abstract paintings are a unique blend of her Asian roots and the diverse experiences of living in different cultures, with varied expressions that aim to connect with audiences. For Yuan-Wen, painting is a record of her inner life experiences and emotions, inspired by the landscapes, dance, the universe, and the world around her.

has work in Meredith’s faculty and staff exhibit along with Peter, Todd and others. About her practice, she says she explores “the transient nature of materials and life itself, where every moment is a delicate, fleeting interplay of existence.“

I encourage my students to pick at least one abstract art work that resonates each week and wrote a few sentences about it. One of them chose Lyubov recently (reminds me of Arthur). Popova was one of the first female pioneers in Cubo-Futurism. Through a synthesis of styles she worked towards what she termed painterly architectonics.

recently juried and curated This is the Future of Non-Objective Art! at Atlantic Gallery which has quite a roster (Amy is included among others I will be learning and blogging about soon). Brian at Sound & Vision did a pod with her recently also.

Born in 1912, Swiss artist Verena Loewensberg was a leading figure of the influential Zurich school of concrete artists. The only female member of the group, which also included Max Bill, Camille Graeser and Richard Paul Lohse, Loewensberg distinguished herself through her oeuvre’s formal and chromatic flair. In her work, structured oil compositions are animated by wide-ranging color and shape, yielding a precise yet poetic art. Hauser & Wirth has organized Kind of Blue to celebrate the same.

Curator Alexis Lowry traces the playful quality of Charlotte’s sculptures, drawings, and photographs, illuminating their connections to her Minimalist contemporaries along with broader socio-political concerns on Dia’s blog in the context of “Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress” which he curated.

Lynne’s most recent (2023) show with Minus Space (home to Michael and Gabriele among others) was Lodestar, a new group of monochromatic objects intended to anchor and orient us in the world. Created from found rocks collected in personally significant locations, these pieces engage our surroundings through a lens of color-based and material-based reduction and a commitment to the power of monochrome.

In her most recent work, Gail transforms homely, everyday objects that typically go unseen. These repurposed objects and images speak to the possibility of transformation, humor – and the quantity of trash generated in our profligate 21st Century America. Finally, they remind us not to take even the most insignificant things for granted.

is one of the creatives Artsy staff is captivated by. The Colombian artist’s all-consuming installations transform mud into stunning Minimalist sculptures that fill cavernous rooms, drawing on Andean and Amazonian cosmologies.

is local artist working occasionally non-figuratively (like Jean Gray her work has narrative components- ). I had the pleasure of getting to know her through Extra Spectral.
Recently she wrote a blog about the story of becoming an installation artist.

So apparently I’m not the only curator to think Extra Spectral is a great exhibition title. (The other) Extra Spectral was a collaborative exhibition at Space 538 between Bianca and Sascha Braunig, both artists whose individual practices investigate power, the body, and transformation (might go without saying given that description that Bianca’s work has strong and occasionally overt references to the body, so not “pure” abstraction for sure).
