Kim Dorland

Kim Dorland is a fairly young painter(born 1976) from Canada who is making some pretty fantastic work right now. He recently finished his solo show at Mike Weiss Gallery in New York this summer, which I thought was one of the best shows this summer. his paintings are as violent and unsettlingly visceral as they are inviting and elegant. Big fan! give them a look.  Check out more at Mark Moore Gallery here or at Mike Weiss gallery here.

Kristine Moran

"Trick Door"

"Immersed"

"You used to be Alright what Happened"

"Mother of the Bride"

"Leda and the Swan"

Kristine Moran works with the idea of "dissolving notions of the self through painting," by abstracting the representational and allowing concrete narratives to become more open-ended.

Represented by the Nicelle Beauchene Gallery.

Chie Fueki

Chie Fueki's paintings are highly intricate and visually stunning.  I have really been enjoying Chie's paintings lately, they always seem to be incredibly simple and complicated at the exact same time.

I have had the pleasure of seeing her work at both "Paper Tails" at NYU Steindhart and "Thisorginized" at Susan Inglett in Chelsea. If your coming through New York anytime soon, both these shows are a total must!  Check her out at Mary Boone Gallery here.

Michelle Hailey

"Caves and Mountains"

"Plein Air Painting"

"Between Valleys"

 "In the Studio"

"Other People's Sunsets"

Michelle Hailey explores her "disconnected experience" with nature and the resulting battle between isolation and belonging. Represented by the Dorsch Gallery.

Abel Auer

"The Taste Land"

"Im Brunnen Lauren Die Taubstummen"

"Purple Hate"

"Sun Express"

"The Dark Side of Everything"

 

Abel Auer claims that "painting is dead," but still likes to "play with the corpse."
