Ethan Cook

Ethan Cook Work from Lobstee. “It seems only right that Ethan Cook would choose to title this exhibition after a one-word poem by Aram Saroyan. Like Saroyan, Cook tends to lean towards the minimal, favoring an approach centered on visible process, understated gesture, and economy of form. Keen to find aesthetic potential in unassuming sources, […]

Alice Channer

Alice Channer Work from Out of Body. “For her South London Gallery exhibition, British artist Alice Channer has created an installation of entirely new works which extend her exploration of the relationship between the human body, personal adornment, materials and sculpture.

Barbara Hepworth

Barbara Hepworth From top to bottom: Three Forms (1935), Ball Plane and Hole (1936), Figure in a Landscape (1951-51), Curved Form (Trevalgan) (1956) “I have always been interested in oval or ovoid shapes. The first carvings were simple realistic oval forms of the human head or of a bird. Gradually my interest grew in more abstract values – the weight, poise, and […]

Ole Martin Lund Bø

Ole Martin Lund Bø Work from his oeuvre. Bø has an exhibition opening at Denny Gallery in New York featuring some of the above pieces. “Ole Martin Lund Bø has a minimal approach to his work.

Olve Sande

Olve Sande Work from his/her oeuvre. “Many of Olve Sande’s conceptually complex, often architectonically-inflected works are as likely to allude to literary production as they are to visual art itself. His series of prints referencing T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland, for example, depict nothing but the editorial mark-up through which Eliot’s mentor, Ezra Pound, amended and […]

Dave Hardy

Dave Hardy Work from his exhibition at Regina Rex. he paintings of John Almanza and the sculptures of Dave Hardy reflect the reckless abandon of progress, with an emphasis on looking at how materials get relegated to the side as other forces push forward. Indulging in the abundances available to them, both artists consider excess […]

Davide Belula

Davide Belula Work from his oeuvre. “…Addressing the painterly representation of landscape, he has also begun another series in two dimensions: images of riverbeds, including those of the East River and the Seine, made by throwing a large piece of canvas, filled with pebbles and tied with a rope, into the waterways. After leaving the […]

Agostino Bonalumi

Agostino Bonalumi Work from his oeuvre. “Agostino Bonalumi (1935) created works, which are strongly determined by geometrical shapes. His attempt at breaking up these stiff shapesled him to a freedom of movement of the included objects. Monochrome works appeared, whose ridges and troughs are marked by wires attached on the back. The compact structures of the […]

Lucy and Jorge Orta

Lucy uses the media of sculpture, public intervention, video, and photography to realize her work. Her most emblematic artworks include Refuge Wear and Body Architecture (1992–98), […]
