More 'Made by Hand/Born Digital' exhibition explores art that confounds an analog v. digital divideSANTA BARBARA, CA.- The Santa Barbara Museum of Arts (SBMA) exhibition Made by Hand/Born Digital features 12 artworks and 9 artists who use brushes, AI, paint, 3D printers, scissors, magazines printed on paper, digital looms, potters wheels, Photoshop, and Apple Photo. By continuing to craft ceramics, paintings, and textiles by hand and also using the latest digital tools, many of the artists in the exhibition blur a distinction between the handmade and digital. Collectively, these artists remind us that computers are toolsexquisitely complicated but still toolsmade by and for humans. They allow artists to work faster, experiment before committing precious time and materials, toss the dice of chance to see what AI might conjure, or easily produce minutely wrought labor-intensive details. Their art demonstrates that ... More 'Vertigo of Color: Matisse, Derain, and the origins of Fauvism' now open at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston HOUSTON, TX.- Over nine intense weeks in the summer of 1905, Henri Matisse (18691954) and André Derain (18801954) embarked on a creative partnership that would change the course of French painting. Through an audacious exploration of new aesthetic territory, the two painters experimented with daring directions in paint and energetic bursts of color, form, and structure that immediately resulted in a boldly inventive artistic language known as Fauvism (from the French fauve, or wild beast). On view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston since February 25 to May 27, 2024, following its debut at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Vertigo of Color: Matisse, Derain, and the Origins of Fauvism ... More GRIMM, NY, presenting the solo exhibiton 'Local Programming' by Eric White in their Tribeca spaceNEW YORK, NY.- GRIMM opened Local Programming, a new solo exhibition from Los Angeles-based artist Eric White at the New York gallery on 23 February 2024. This marks the artists fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and his first in the Tribeca space. Local Programming, set in the muted haze of the 1970s, follows a woman enthralled by television, specifically game shows, whose actions blur the boundary between psychological delusion and metaphysical epiphany. Whites paintings explore the intersection of the romanticized American dream and the psychological paranoia imbued in this fantasy. Referencing 20th-century film and pop culture with a painterly finesse, his work subverts and recodes the dominant narratives of contemporary society. The exhibition presents a series of vignettes centering around a female character ... More Templon, Brussels, presents 'La danse du mal insaisissable' by Jan Van ImschootBRUSSELS.- As the spectacular retrospective of Jan Van Imschoots art at the SMAK in Ghent comes to an end, the Flemish painter unveils his latest work in Brussels: an exploration of evil through the ages. This latest show is the fruit of a rigorous and meticulous process of exploration inspired by selected museum masterpieces and archives. Jan Van Imschoot narrates a story unfurling across 14 baroque and colourful canvases. The butterfly, symbol of the soul or the psyche, flutters unobtrusively through the paintings, now an opulent, dark form concealing, eclipse-like, a Mexican firing squad, now landing on the face of Leopold II, the dynastic figure behind the bloodthirsty management of the Congo. Capital punishment is a recurring theme: as an object of fantasy, source of intimidation, vestige of history or national folklore. Under ... More Alex Anderson's second solo exhibition at Sargent's Daughters is now on viewLOS ANGELES, CA.- Sargents Daughters is currently showing Everything is made of light, Alex Andersons second solo exhibition with the gallery, and his first in our West Coast location.

This exhibition includes both free-standing sculptures and wall-mounted works that feature crystalline glazes and flowing, natural forms. They blur the borders and edges of the ceramic ... More Six years of work by Rebekka Steiger now on view at Tank ShanghaiSHANGHAI.- Galerie Urs Meile is now showing the emerging Swiss artist Rebekka Steigers (b. 1993) first major institutional solo exhibition in China. Titled Octopus Mountain, the exhibition launched at Tank Shanghai on March 1, 2024 and will last for three months. This exhibition assembles works by Rebekka Steiger from the past six years. What becomes visible is the webwork of Steiger's growing oeuvre. Strewn with recurring figurative motives and abstract movements, it is so diverse in style and visual language, that only upon closer inspection the connections between the individual paintings become apparent. Personal expression, abstract formations, figurative and sometimes seemingly symbolically charged content take shape in step with the artist's technical experimentation in her painting. ... More |

He was prolific, and worked not only in Italy, but also in Germany and Spain. Giovan Battista Tiepolo, together with Giambattista Pittoni, Canaletto, Giovan Battista Piazzetta, Giuseppe Maria Crespi and Francesco Guardi are considered the traditional Old Masters of that period.
