On view now: Loren Erdrich “The Stirring”

Water, the ultimate disobeyer of boundaries, takes a primary material role in Erdrich’s process - synthetic and organic pigments and dyes are applied unbound, mixed solely with water, to canvas and muslin. She plays with the push/pull between deliberate and unintentional movements🌊

Our guest saw a connection between Loren Erdrich’s and Ross Bleckner’s art✨👀

Ross Bleckner “Memorial 1” 1949

His poetic works often employ recurring symbolic imagery, such as candelabras, doves, and flowers, rendered with a blurred, glowing sense of light✨

Do you see the beautiful resemblance between two unbelievably gorgeous works of art?

Barbara Kruger’s work on view 👀

“Barbara Kruger and The Supreme”

In a 1981 art show Kruger debuted white Futura text in a red box over a black and white image for the very first time.

She’s carried that style throughout most of her artwork to this day. In 1987, her most popular piece “I Shop Therefore I Am” would be released. The piece is a twisting of the famous Descartes quote “I think therefore I am”. The artwork is meant to shift the way its observers think about materialism. Not long after releasing “I Shop Therefore I Am”, Kruger released another popular piece titled “Your Body Is A Battleground ” with a political message Released in support of a feminist movement supporting women’s rights, the artwork was considered by some to be propaganda.

Her relationship with Supreme is as interesting as her career. One would think she’d be upset with them ripping her design ethos and even more directly, some of her prints. In reality, Kruger is less than bothered. Her response when she’s asked about Supreme using the art style is downright dismissive: “I don’t own a font”. Her idea of intellectual property is relatively loose. She considers it “a euphemism for corporate control”. Contextually, this makes her the perfect artist to emulate for Supreme, a brand well known for ripping designs and making them their own.

Kruger’s most popular work “I shop therefore I am” is antithetical to what Supreme is today. One stands as a criticism of consumption as a whole, the other has become a symbol of said consumption. It’s also ironic in that while Kruger had no quarrel with Supreme’s similar art style

Tethys Art “Celebrating female artists”

Artemisia Gentileschi
1593 - 1654 or later

Artemisia is the most celebrated female painter of the 17th century. She worked in Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and London, for the highest echelons of European society, including the Grand Duke of Tuscany and Philip IV of Spain.

Artemisia was born in Rome, the eldest of five children and only daughter of Orazio Gentileschi, under whom she trained. She was r***d by the painter Agostino Tassi, an acquaintance and collaborator of her father’s. An infamous trial, meticulously recorded in documents that survive, ensued in 1612. Tassi was found guilty and banished from Rome, though his punishment was never enforced.

Following the trial Artemisia married a little-known Florentine artist, and left Rome for Florence shortly thereafter. There she had five children and established herself as an independent artist, becoming the first woman to gain membership to the Academy of the Arts of Drawing in 1616. Artemisia returned to Rome in 1620, beset by creditors after running up debts, and she remained there for 10 years.
From 1630 she settled in Naples, where she ran a successful studio until her death.

Tethys Art “Celebrating female artists”

Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986)

Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, renowned for her contribution to modern art. Born on November 15, 1887, the second of seven children, Georgia Totto O’Keeffe grew up on a farm near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. By the time she graduated from high school in 1905, O’Keeffe had determined to make her way as an artist. She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York, where she learned the techniques of traditional painting. The direction of her artistic practice shifted dramatically four years later when she studied the revolutionary ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow. Dow offered O’Keeffe an alternative to established ways of thinking about art. She experimented with abstraction for two years while she taught art in West Texas. Through a series of abstract charcoal drawings, she developed a personal language to better express her feelings and ideas.

O’Keeffe mailed some of these highly abstract drawings to a friend in New York City. Her friend showed them to Alfred Stieglitz, the art dealer and renowned photographer, who would eventually become O’Keeffe’s husband. He became the first to exhibit her work, in 1916.

By the mid-1920s, O’Keeffe was recognized as one of America’s most important and successful artists, known for her paintings of New York skyscrapers—an essentially American symbol of modernity—as well as her equally radical depictions of flowers.
In the summer of 1929, O’Keeffe made the first of many trips to northern New Mexico. The stark landscape and Native American and Hispanic cultures of the region inspired a new direction in O’Keeffe’s art. For the next two decades she spent most summers living and working in New Mexico. She made the state her permanent home in 1949, three years after Stieglitz’s death.

Thinking in the same direction.

Our neighbours Christie’s
who recently opened in Southampton, also have Josh Smith’s palm tree series painting on view. Both artworks carry artists signature style and intuitive sense of composition.

Josh Smith 1976 (45 y.o.)

Joshua Smith is based in NY, he is best known for his aggressive, gestural paintings in which his style fluctuates between signifiers and abstracted forms.

Using murky color and fearless brushstrokes, Smith is not interested in precisely rendering his subjects, but rather in exploring the possibilities of abstraction.

Josh spends long periods of time alone. Sometimes he won’t leave his studio for six months. But the end result is always followed by a veil of fascination, an exquisite series of artworks performed with large broad brushstrokes and intense vibrant colours.

Tethys Art: “Celebrating female artists”

Lee Krasner 1908-1984

Lena Krasner was the daughter of Orthodox Jewish refugees from Odessa, Ukraine, and the first of their children to be born in the United States.

She might have been the most intelligent of the painters who convinced the world in the late 1940s that New York had displaced Paris as the epicenter of modern art.

Intelligence, though, was not enough to reach the celebrity tier of American painting, and it even could be a hindrance if you were a woman in American art’s most macho era. Krasner received little attention from museums until her 60s, and she has rarely stepped out of the shadow of Jackson Po***ck, her husband from 1945 until his early death in 1956.

Her first abstract paintings display a deep technical proficiency even when they feel overcalculated — the work of an “A” student still finding her way.
