James Welling Work from Glass House. Welling has an incredible exhibition/retrospective opening tomorrow at the Cincinnati Art Museum. “Taken over the course of three years (2006–2009), these photographs  were made using a digital camera, and the resulting images capture  the architectural features of Johnson’s 47-acre compound. In addition to  the Glass House, Welling photographed the Brick Guest […]

Hélio Oiticica Work from Body of Color at the Tate Modern. “Hélio Oiticica (1937–1980) was one of the most innovative Brazilian artists of his generation and has come to be acknowledged as a significant figure in the development of contemporary art.

Christopher Derek Bruno Work from his oeuvre. “Christopher Derek Bruno is a maker above all other things.

His recent works aim to address the underlying concepts of visual perception by […]

Jacob Dahlgren Work from Palermo1966 (other works also included). “Palermo1996 explores the allure of the supermarket and removes items directly from the shelves in order to create this contemporary geometric abstraction. As a result of the construction elements, metal and magnets, this work also functions very much as a performance piece, through the building of […]

Nick Relph Work from his oeuvre. “There are young to mid-career artists today who jump nimbly across mediums and delight in the rich phenomenological possibilities of found objects and images. They tend not to work in a recognizable style, but instead create artworks that are united by sensibility—sly, mysterious, ironic, poetic. Think of Ryan Gander, […]

Thomas Deyle Work from his oeuvre. “This theory is the basis of my interest in my work since 1989, when my first painting was on a glass plate. In the figures presented here are only seeing paintings on Plexiglas panels. On frosted Plexiglas panels in thin glazes is color coated to color light areas and […]

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 […]

Franck Salzwedel Work from THE STAR WEPT ROSE at Blackston Gallery. “…Salzwedel utilizes both precision and intuition in applying layers of pigment to reveal luminescent, entirely smooth panels of singular yet gradated colors, which progress both laterally and radially across the surface. With little overt contrast across the plane, the focus is on nuance and […]

A simple situation that generates a whole system of thoughts, sensitivity, myths, etc. The Chromosaturation is an artificial environment composed of three color chambers, one red, one green and […]
