Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia

These are simply remarkable. 

Joshua Abelow



These are:
funny
deftly made
odd in terms of color choice
materially appealing
cognizant of painting's past,
but not singularly
smart
dumb
succint
dense in their succintness

Found Painting(s)


While packing up a Christmas gift to send off to Florida, I ended up with these two images--love the simple, graphic quality of these matter-of-fact objects/found paintings.

Structure amidst/in color


From a "sculpture" I made with Alex today--am thinking of new painting structures.

Basil Beattie and Claude Viallat

These days are tough ones for me in terms of studio work.  I still have not figured how one nurtures an infant AND nurtures a studio.  All in due time I tell myself, as the remnant of baby vomit on my shoulder wafts through my nostrils.  I think this current reality makes finding new (to me that is..) painting so wonderful, so soul-feeding.  Basil Beattie (top) and Claude Viallat (bottom) came to my attention just today.
