52 CRITICAL PAINTERS
52 Critical Painters highlights artists pushing the practice of painting forward. Artists who have developed a voice, carved out a corner, imagined a vision, or set themselves apart.
Emily Gherard
Seattle based artist Emily Gherard creates subdued process-based work that reads as abstract landscapes, but which is actually rooted in figurative drawing.
Kelly Bjork
Kelly Bjork paints domestic interiors-- scenes of tenderness, intimacy, and vulnerability in which she envisions something like utopian cohabitation.
Kimberly Trowbridge
Kimberly Trowbridge’s paintings strike me as both carefully observed and strangely fantastical. She is a painter versed in Academic tradition and observational painting, and that critical eye is evidenced throughout her wide body of work.
