"I’m skeptical of the current fad for (easily salable) nostalgic dibbity-dab abstract paintings" - Andrew Russeth

"Since the economy tanked, we have become so accustomed to seeing so many artists churn out insipid, derivative drivel that we cannot imagine things any other way. The lemming abstractionist movement (also commonly referred to as the Martha Stewart School of Provisional Painting) still seems to have inexplicable hegemony over most of the art world." - Irena Jurek

"There is an overabundance of nostalgic abstract painting in the world today. Many of these works are shown and garnering attention in Manhattan's Lower East Side, in close proximity to the gallery that shows Liz's work. The system of art is lubricated for nostalgia: The dealer can easily talk about these paintings because they look like older art, the collector "gets it" because it is something that he or she has seen before, the artist feels comfortable since it gives him or her a relationship to "history", and comparing contemporary art is a trusty crutch taught in MFA programs. The job of the artist is to question - not to be boringly complicit with - all of these structures." - Carter Mull

Mlle. X, 2012

Video Studio Visit - i didn't know she makes little b/w collage studies first as sort of armatures which enlarged the color gets painted poured and layered into... the same design sometimes gets used in more than one painting.

i had made this^,... and later i was looking at these islamic carpets again... oh duh.

some of these are scraped and shredded so far down i then stain them from the back.

people talk about casualism and provisionalism but nobody ever talks about wabi sabi.

BROmirskiBROsseau.. look, its one of the best blog posts ever.

qualities of a good scholar's rock -  grotesque, corruscated, pockmarked, elaborated, over-elaborated, animated, awkward, top heavy, wrinkling (texture), moistness (tactile and glossy), resonance.

She had a GREAT show at John Davis Gallery a couple years ago. It was a 2010 FAVORITE.

I can't keep up with all of the good shows John has...  missed the latest with Katherine Bradford and Farrell Brickhouse.

No this is not Vince! ...but I forget his name. Gary Petersen was here. Where isn't Gary P.
