do you have to be canadian to show at this gallery?
saw this on the other site and looked up gallery to see her other work.
I dont find this particular comp very strong... bottom of painting is very distracting. those little feet things. the leggy feet things work better in other work...

FINALLY! I like her stuff a lot... she was one of the favorites at the big Tang Museum painting survey.

i don't think the political underpinnings have disappeared whatsoever - the imagery in this recent group of paintings all seem to reference early feminist painting genres of goddess and central core imagery through her familiar graphic abstraction.

Strong endorsement indeed TPL! It is not I that will douse this spirit neath the flames of flamery!

Canada had the COURAGE of its CONVICTIONS to stay off the beaten track in the gritty Lower East Village! Amen to that! Leo Koenig didnt have the balls to stay down on centre street. Too much gunfire and drug use. If you like Canada and you like their artists, then its worth a special trip down there. Brink a flack jacket and a can of mace.

I should like the artists and their work, because of my totally ANTI stance. But I dont think they are totally anti. I think THEY are totally for the ANTS because its makes me antsy. Follow the formic acid, i say, theres bound to be sugar at the end of the paragraph.

“Not "Seeing is Believing," you ninny, but "Believing is Seeing." For modern art has become completely literary: the paintings and other works exist only to illustrate the text.”

Georgia O'Keeffe comes to mind, though these are decidedly more empyrean, classic Greek? ... before color!

You know, the color and stuff reminds me of childrens books - the arty ones A Maya Angelou book or something.

(No one I knew growning up owned fine art and I mostly just remember a particular isamu naguchi....I dont remember thinking it was awesome - just that it was tactile, like a jungle jim).

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Re Sean Landers - It is not the thing you fear that you must fear - it is the mother of the thing you fear.

Ware the gruffalo.

i like this painter. i'm cautiously optimistic in thinking she'll get better and better. in three-shows' time, she could even become utterly original. while i don't like every choice she makes in painting, i understand my distates as personal, meaning there's nothing intrinsically wrong with the paintings, i just like chocolate more than kiwi.

Martin said...

poppy - about the fear artists... that is triggering a memory of someone i think who once specifically said that... i will try to remember.

AH, i just got it! Kusama Yayoi.

Louise Bourgeois, don't abandon me pillows...Joy Garnett, the political images...in some weird way, Brian Calvin, his people always look numb.
