Sarah Morris: Pools
I've been asked to feature more women artists and so here is one of my favorite contemporary painters (who happens to be a woman). This is painting that is smart, insightful and thoroughly hip.
Personal Geometry @ Lori Bookstein Fine Art
Jan Müller
Untitled (Polyptych)
c. 1955
Oil on seven wood panels
46" x 40"
This is a show that is a must-see for me. I am always looking for a fresh perspective on geometric abstraction.
"Müller and Wilson, two painters whose work has been split between abstraction and representation, provide adept examples of paintings composed from the arrangement of humble squares, but which function foremost as matrices for the study of color relationships and personal moods." -from the press release for the exhibit

Cubist Mashup #3
This image combines several components: a carafe, a wine bottle, a glass goblet and a projector contemporaneous with those seen by Picasso and Braque. The goal is to re-create a Cubist image that incorporates elements of the early Cinema apparatus (the projector) to prove the theis that Picasso and Braque embedded the machinery into there Cubist images.
Cubist Mashup #2
Starting with a photograph of a woman from the Victorian era, Photoshop was used to create a second image transformed by simple reflection; the was then overlaid onto an image of a tripod in an effort to replicate effects found in several images by Picasso.
Cubist Mashup #1
Using Photoshop, an image of a cinematograph was combined with an image of a Mandora (a type of guitar) in an effort to duplicate effects in a painting by Braque. In Photoshop, the clone stamp tool allows for painting multiple sections offset from the original Mandora.
