Noteworthy:

Josiah Ellner

Juror’s Pick p52

Marked by bright, rich color and a decision to revel glimpses into childhood memories, Josiah Ellner’s paintings feel somewhat autobiographical yet relatable. With nods to surrealism and animation, Ellner uses ominous humor, as well as flora and fauna, to reflect on our dwindling relationship to the natural world. Each of these oil on canvas works is uniquely episodic, while still sharing co-hesive gestures and themes; they land right on the border between figuration and abstraction. n

Salim Green

Editor’s Pick p158

The materiality of Green’s work and its presentation are striking. He “offers” his work to viewers in formats that mimic the strategies of retail display. Green is interested in how we navigate the spaces between personal, collective, and imagined histories. To this end, he deftly navigates in the gaps between image and abstraction, intention and accident. Green’s subjects are inextricably linked to the process of their own formation. n

Beyond the discussed gestures of space, identity fragmentation, and the use of paraficition, the artists in this edition have brought forth a number of other compelling and critical conversations which I have not covered in this short text. I hope that readers spend time with each of these artists’ practices and have the opportunity that I did to reflect on our current transitionary state. Artist Robert Smithson (1938-1973) describes the value of temporalty saying “when a thing is seen through the consciousness of temporality it is changed into something that is nothing, and it ceases to be a mere object and becomes art.” The transformation Smithson is suggesting

Instead of focusing on what is often lost in translation, I sift through the different shapes and symbols that are found when one is living between clashing cultures, languages, and materials. My expansive studio practice involves gathering and repurposing artifacts from my community—such as worn Kurdish dresses, fabric, and used rugs—to investigate the politics of display, painting, fashion, and borders. I paint, cut, screen print, and sew on these materials to create discrete objects and larger, immersive installations that reflect and explore conditions of assimilation, colonial amnesia, and the fragmented state of diasporic living. There is a sense of history, place, and loss in the way elements of the body are presented in my work. The use and reuse of textiles evoke how they might have looked on a person; how they would have danced or even moved in them. My work is an attempt at locating the space between a love song and a protest song.

My work examines questions of identity, gender, culture, and socio-economic status within the domestic and familial space. Printmaking is my primary, but not exclusive medium. The prints blend into site-specific installations and grant it—and the space— greater significance. As an artist, I am fascinated with the way that a home is perceived as a symbol of intimacy and primarily presented in a feminine point of view. I continue to examine the gaps that exist between perceptions, stereotypes, and reality through broader aspects that relate to the term “home.” As a woman, it is my role to present an updated statement on aspects that do not receive attention in society; to formulate them in an authentic manner and turn them into a significant part of our collective memory. By living in the multicultural United States, I want to show the gaps, the similarities, and the various sides of this place in relation to the Jewish-Arab culture that molded me. Thus, I provide foreign eyes with a close-up view of the issues that touch us all.

I am simply an Earthling using my eyeballs as a vacuum, sucking up any inspiration that floats by and spitting it out through my hands. On an average day, I meditate on the gestures of plant life within my home and along the sidewalks in my neighborhood. Through these meditations, I imagine the alternate possibilities of the human body. If I were anything but human, I would be a plant; a long appendage who wiggles their way from dirt toward maturity and shifts daily with the direction of the sun.

I translate these daydreams through my work, which offers an escape into a fantastical realm where science fiction, environmentalism, and sensuality intertwine to explore our innate connection to the world we inhabit. The vivid colors vibrate the senses in the way a flower uses visual cues to attract a pollinator. The repetitive designs and interwoven abstract and figural forms prompt meditative states to contemplate our own bodies in space, while promoting reverence for the microscopic and commonplace natural wonders of the world around us.

Calling upon the tradition of still life painting, this body of work uses food and domestic settings to subtly address contemporary political issues. These unsettling tablescapes subvert the technical norms of the still life genre from the 17th century to comment on wealth and power in current American politics. Illogical shifts in perspective disorient the painting space; sharp knives loom above eye level as exaggerations in scale and tight compositions fuel the tension. Moments away from being gutted, filleted, and consumed, fish and crustaceans stare at the viewer with anxious eyes. These paintings question who the feast is for— and who is paying the tab.

Privilege of Getting Together Part 2, Anna Zorina Gallery,

In Dante Cannatella’s work, the landscape reclaims the city. The lines between inside and outside are blurred and lives play out against the truth of uncertainty and impermanence. The paintings reflect growing up amidst the destruction and rebuilding of New Orleans. Set against this backdrop and the deluge myth, the figures are caught in a theater of human folly that explores inner worlds and outer realities and the powerful forces of nature, commerce, and mass thought that shape, nurture, and destroy them. The figurative elements weigh against each other and take on roles such as the self, symbols of authority, the conscious witness, the audience, and the chorus.

My paintings examine consumerism and advertising to suggest an inherent comedy—and absurdity—of daily life. My work questions our mindless drive toward industrialized American consumerism, the contents of which fill and fetishize our interior spaces. I deliberately obscure forms by creating multi-layered, illusory facades. Human bodies and consumer goods are ensconced in pattern and color, emphasizing their inherent banality while simultaneously enshrining and transforming their visual structures of identification as a way of critiquing the perception of value. Through the lack of a reveal, it is left indiscernible which cloaked forms contain commercial or societal value, challenging our perceptions of what is real and unreal, valuable and valueless. I am drawn to the allure of what lies underneath. I drape, wrap, and cover with various fabrics to transform once recognizable forms into abstract shapes, semi-composed inklings of what lies below. It is this illusory quality of implied volume and depth that bemuses and betrays the two dimensional space of the stretched canvas, allowing the painted surface to become an additional layer of the facade.

Through my paintings I explore paranoia, daydreaming, and curiosity with a playful bending of space, time, and bodies. Informed by my suburban Midwest upbringing and a sensibility toward worldbuilding, I rely on domestic motifs to establish immediate access points for the viewer, which I then transform into bizarre narratives and invented environments. The figures I depict are desperate to escape their residential reality to either find connection or snoop on their neighbors, but first they must navigate a world that is familiar yet strange. Despite repeated invitations into the paintings through open doors, saccharine colors, and idyllic lawns, both the figures and the audience are kept at a distance by impenetrable fences, simplistic landscapes, and claustrophobic architecture. Ultimately, this process exposes an underlying tension, as the resulting picture is simultaneously comforting and disconcerting, outdoors and indoors, human and animal, day and night, and intimate and remote.

As a disabled Black woman, I have a desire for people to accept or appreciate me for both my surface and what’s below it; to humanize me not because of my appearance, but despite it. My paintings channel the complexity of my identity. I create a surface of works that are richly layered, both demanding attention and refusing any simple legibility.

Simpson, Annie, ‘How I Made This: Victoria Dugger’s

My anthropomorphic figures are a way for me to visualize my own body. Their irregular extremities are intended to express a state of atrophy. I render them joyful and beautiful. Ambivalence is a core theme in my work; these figures exist on the border of abstraction and representation. I’m interested in the evocation of nostalgia for girlhood, while also imagining possible futures. Neither utopian nor dystopian, I instead produce bodies that refuse to be contained.

I negotiate and celebrate the concept of being Black with my narratives, exploration of identity, portraiture, and language. Through abstraction, representation, and assemblage I use my memories to depict the experience of being raised in a predominantly Black neighborhood. My hope is that these scenes from my journey provide nostalgia for the viewer.

Overlook on the Asthenosphere, School of the Art Institute

My paintings translate moments of connection between people and nature, captured through the lens of a digital native. They are narratives that revolve around the tumultuous relationship between humanity and the natural world. I am drawn to moments that embody the feeling of oneness with nature; the formal decisions I make in my work are all informed by the characteristics of these moments, which tend toward the awkward, whimsical, playful, and sometimes slightly humorous. This results in ungainly and awkward figures and environments that are patterned and playful. Through these abstractions I strive to achieve a heightened narrative that encapsulates the connections and the concealed discomfort we have with the natural world.

Mahsa R. Fard was born and grew up in Tehran, Iran. She studied painting at the School of Art and Architecture in Tehran and moved to the United States to pursue her graduate studies at Maryland Institute College of Art, where she received an MFA in Painting in 2019. Since then, she has been working in her Baltimore studio and has participated in group and solo shows nationally and internationally. Growing up in Iran, Fard has always been conscious of the dominant patriarchal gaze in both the public and private sphere. Navigating these masculine orders as a woman requires a wide range of strategies. Through her paintings, she represents these orders and approaches, and speculates possible scenarios through which to maneuver.

I paint with a gun—a tufting gun—along with needles, hooks, and knots. Repurposing such a phallic signifier of violence, I conjure vibrant objects of comfort that inhabit a mystical pictorial space between abstraction and representation. Stabbing fabric with yarn, my psyche cracks open into fibers. It’s intuitive and it’s cathartic; it’s a pain in the ass but it’s satisfying. The resulting images are hysterical—in the truest sense of the word. Liberated from its slanderous connotations, hysteria is understood as a manifestation of the unconscious when it’s ferociously unbound. Ruptures are reborn as rugs, inviting the viewer into the home within.

Through shape, colour, and scale, the objects I make suggest specific gendered traits and circumstances, playing off the viewers implicit biases and perception of gender. The long stretched out forms of glass reference dominance, power, and erection, while painting and textiles evoke softness, warmth, comfort, and figurative curves. They evoke a seductive relationship that cross contaminates the gendered fields of textiles and glass blowing with a play between hard material and soft curves.

The forms in the rugs act as stand-ins for our bodies in space. They navigate the composition in relation to each other and the overall form of the rug. The figures blend into one another as others are emerging out. The background pushes past the figures, an attempt to escape or enlarge the room. We can gain a sense of how these figures relate themselves to one another and the space that contains them.

This series focuses on relationships Black women have with one another through dance. I am curious about the realms of dance and how the movement of one’s body can create a ritual of existence and suggest an agency over their body. When two bodies collide, intertwining community and movement, they take on a new form. I showcase this collision through the lens of a fairytale, a genre that often excludes women of color. The invented characters in my works are various beings ranging from fairies, to spirits, and humans in flesh form. These characters are placed against vibrant backgrounds that contain intricate patterns, detailed carpentry, shadow play, and indoor exotic plants. These elements are created with acrylic paint and found objects—such as fabric and wallpaper—that are repurposed into the figure’s form and environment. Through these paintings, I am exploring themes of mysticism, community, womanhood, and performance.

If the body is a container of space in painting, what object could suggest that repository? How could a painted thing make the figure’s form present without the actual body being there? I choose to paint belts as stand-ins for the body’s absence to defy and stay within a conversation about figurative painting. By placing a tilted mirror on the floor, I observe my own body wearing a belt while painting. On the canvas, a loose perspective is created where the viewer seems to be kneeling below the figure. The belt hovers above to dominate or engage in a power play. This object holds the pants up, like a line to define the delicate, yet strong core of the body. The intermittent addition of a hand further gestures to the belt as a symbol of cinching, weight gain or loss, masculinity, and a fashion accessory.

Wirth Book and Printed Matter Lab, Los Angeles, CA

Within the first six years of my life, I moved from Wisconsin to Indiana, then to Yokohama, Japan and Shanghai, China. From this diasporic upbringing, my work finds its roots in the role that cultural fragmentation and displacement play in changing perceptions of nationhood and loss. Through research and practice, I aim to erode the violent mythologies that perpetuate exceptionalist and settler colonial narratives in the hopes of excavating forgotten and partial histories. I yearn to locate sites of emergence from which we can perhaps fabulate adjacent histories. As a Chinese American artist, I challenge and create a dialogue with the gendered and racialized constructs that codify my body and identity as “harmless” and “non-threatening” within the hegemonic West. I am interested in how my presence has the capacity to disarrange systems of prediction based upon otherness and threat. I see slippery, chameleonic identity as a form of infiltration—a soft power reversal within hard architectures of power. I explore these subjects through a diverse range of media and strategies, including film/video, installation, social interventions, sculpture, writing, and painting.

Capturing the moments when my life views and personal experiences click together is what I want. I believe a lot of things that we overlook in our daily life have a spiritual quality that reveals our strength and potential to move forward. My work intends to highlight the spiritual dimension that lies behind the events and obstacles we encounter in life and to bring that to the viewer’s attention. In this body of work, my paintings introduce a portal to another space where the viewer can experience and recall their own bittersweet moments and understand the coexistence of different kinds of emotion.

My paintings are a representation of displacement, identity, social issues, labour, and consumerism. The implementation of ceramic tiles alongside the paintings is an attempt to reference my personal experiences with religion, politics, and parallels of the East and West. I want my viewers to be provoked, informed, and entertained by my work. I position myself as a sardonic commentator through overlapping hypocrisies that each culture is guilty of yet points blame elsewhere. This is reflective of my perspective as an individual situated on both sides. By putting form to these social overlaps, I am attempting to bring awareness to viewers of their own similarities to the side they position themselves against.

Lunday’s paintings distort the boundaries between the real and the artificial to consider the constructions of relationships in a world informed by celebrity culture. Her figures are modeled on the endless cycle of celebrities from reality television, Instagram, and tabloids. Combining images from these sources with her own personal photographs, the artist focuses on the messy ethics of our instantly-famous culture to create tableaus of romantic engagement where genuine emotion is hidden behind precarious notions of selfhood and awkward moments of human interaction.

Using formal connections to art’s historical touchstones, Lunday calls attention to—or perhaps satirizes—our cultural obsession with celebrity while foregrounding what happens when the strange and familiar collide. In Lunday’s paintings, this ambiguity replaces the authenticity of interpersonal relationships and affords the viewer an opportunity to reflect upon the instability of desire.

I am absorbed in the creation of a fantasy world that unifies external and internal landscapes. Trees, mountains, skies, and bodies of water are arranged architecturally alongside glowing spherical forms I see as celestial bodies or musical notes. Over the years, recurring shapes in nature, art historical treatments of landscape, and synesthetic visual experiences have been absorbed and catalogued. I also spend time investigating religious art across epochs and cultures, borrowing compositional elements to represent nature’s inherent spirituality. Now, forms emerge intuitively on canvas to fit the emotive, musical, and conceptual needs of a painting.

Drawing from the post-socialist landscape of and attitudes about the former Yugoslavia, I analyze collective memory politics and the archive. I create in between spaces, concentrating on objects, architectural features, political photographs, and embroidered words to mimic the geographic and political placement of a departed country. Dissecting the dissonance between national attitudes and my own feelings of displacement, the images and historical design in my pieces memorialize a long gone environment and reflect upon contemporary disillusionment. Ultimately, as a study of absence, aesthetic markers, and political relics, my practice focuses on the transformation of national memory.

Resurgence: Indigequeer Identities, Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, Vancouver, Canada

Through oil painting and mixed media works on canvas, I am interested in exploring issues of Indigeneity and the contemporary Indigenous experience as it relates to the Western world. As a First Nations person from Canada, I am aware that oil painting is a European tradition in the arts. This informs my practice as I include traditional elements of Canadian Aboriginal culture, or—as we are more widely known here in the United States—the Native American or American Indian. I am both fascinated with and appalled by American Indian stereotypes, and I often borrow the signifying vernacular from the plethora of typecast imagery depicting my people that stems from the media, advertisements, sports team logos, and throughout art history. I fuse traditional motifs from Indigenous culture with a Western understanding of art historical association to speak about my experience as it communicates to a larger Western audience.

Traveling between the US and Taiwan for the past eight years, I find myself constantly struggling to define where home is and who I am. In my recent body of work, I take inventory of my life. I pick objects that I’m particularly fond of and paint them from life. Through the act of looking and painting, I reconstruct the connection between the objects and myself and implant my own character and narrative in them. I approach each painting as a journey of self-reflection and exploration. Under the facade of various styles and light-hearted images, each painting reveals pieces of personal memories, wishes, or fantasies.

Lying through the fog and wild thickets of the rural Midwest landscape are isolated and zealot sectors of Christianity. Spiritual leaders in closed communities build proverbial arks containing traditions of hierarchy that create a culture of erasure and duty, all while hiding under the guise of biblical rhetoric. My collage work attempts to modernize biblical stories and rural cultural mythologies in a way that highlights forms of injustice or hierarchy. The subjects and mediums used to create my work are often symbolic and juxtaposed in the hopes that the viewer is able to re-code and re-imagine the separate collaged parts—paint, embroidery, and print—that create contemporary fictions.

My work is rooted in my identity as a daughter of immigrants from Pakistan and Guatemala. Through paintings, drawings, and objects, I explore the cultural, racial, and ethnic melancholy and isolation of living in an American suburb. Gardens, windows, fences, and objects represent the many facets of my identity as a child of immigrants, a multi-racial and multi-ethnic woman, subjected to American history and idealism. Objects become vessels of exchange between cultures and generations, as well as channels to explore the romantic, religious, personal, and political. The fragmented identities contribute to the shifts in imagery, while attempts of reconciliation with the self through windows and fences affirms our identities as outsiders looking in and looking out.

I make paintings, drawings, and sculptures that explore formal questions of space, color, form, and line in informal and playful ways by using diverse materials. My abstract visual language often includes organizing conventions—such as nets, webs, and grids—and more spontaneously emerging forms and marks. In these paintings, I start with a delicate, carefully constructed surface before an inherent geometry emerges that gets played with and interrupted as I populate the painting. Delicate, organized gestures live together with detritus, ultimately arriving at a place of tension and harmony. As I’m working, I often think about what conditions create a more free and imaginative space.

Polina Tereshina uses a wide range of vocabulary, from the language of zines and protest, to that of abstract expressionism. Tereshina weaves together the discourse of the white cube with comic book humor, reflecting on canonical ideological constructs. By condensing binaries of representation, such as abstraction and gender, as well as other cultural tropes, she creates areas of openness where these categories begin to lose their assertive power. Sundry references to art history and geography swim in a sea of loose brush marks where archetypes are untethered from the frameworks they rely on to exist. Tereshina creates arrangements where each object is a concrete proposition— social, political, and imaginary—creating a constellation of varying ideas that forms an overall conceptual gestalt.

My paintings are landscapes from liminal, everyday spaces, usually painted with oil on canvas or panel. These scenes are typical, but in them I find immense depth, presence, and beauty. I enjoy the quickness and washiness of paint, often letting it be itself on canvas rather than worrying too much about its representation. As I paint, I focus on the idea of being present in a world that is on the verge of collapse due to climate catastrophe and economic disaster. I wonder what it means to make art in the end times.

Despite art being passively present as I was growing up, I ended up studying aviation. While dealing with this universal decision, my honesty, intuition, and spontaneity from childhood were deteriorating. So, I quit aviation and moved to the United States, where my work now questions cultural roles, stereotypes, and uncertainties about identity. I explore a fantasy world that is fused with representational figuration of what remains of our genuine self as we “grow up” and adapt to society, incorporating the only toy remaining in adulthood: imagination. Mainly inspired by childhood memories, the narratives are played by self portraiture or imagined alter egos. They inhabit dark, intimate interior spaces where, ironically, I mentally deal with external, real world anxieties, such as acceptance, gender roles, and self-image. Fragmentation and deconstruction of the figure allow me to juxtapose contradictory scenarios; they remind me of how our identity is constantly distorted and threatened by social standards. We are pushed to wear artificial masks in order to fit within the “norm” and expectations, repeatedly making me question what it even means to be my real self at this point.

I gravitate to the playfulness of objects and their potential for transformation. My practice calls attention to the relationships between our bodies and the things we surround ourselves with. My goal is to put divergent objects into a whole. Different materials, surfaces, and shapes help me represent personifications with unique attributions that can coexist together. When constructing entities through painting, sculpture, and other processes, I avoid direct representations of human bodies to create autonomous objects that expand on the idea of what constitutes a body. My hybrid identity grounds my desire to create a personal mythology that builds on my understanding of the many histories and systems I inhabit.

In my current work, I explore the history of colonization by embracing simple methods of crafting the environment so as to emphasize the primitive qualities of the materials. For example, I utilize the fluidity of house paint by dripping it on the work; I represent the absorbency and malleability of drop cloth by leaving it bare and wrinkled. Abstracting images of the African Diaspora allows me to present Blackness in a vulnerable and primitive state, one in which it often isn’t allowed to exist. My reverence for the materials mirrors that of the subject matter; the archival images I work from compose their own paintings with little to no manipulation due to the absence of a brush, creating moments where Black people are free.

I often start projects with a vague motif or direction that will hopefully lead to an intriguing image. The trigger may include objects that are acutely attractive to me or the atmosphere created from music or film. When I start painting, I keep asking myself questions and making choices, while gradually noticing what the work is trying to tell me. Through making images, I am searching for my position in the world.

My acrylic paintings are about the relationship between private spaces and the people that inhabit and shape them. I am interested in the accretion of history and language developed between people and objects within such spaces. These observed pockets of interiority between house and home express as much about me as they do my own body. Private space provides potentialities of being not offered by the public sphere. I draw from my experiences in caregiving and disabilities to depict the many joyful, loving, idiosyncratic, and fraught iterations of private space between two people. I use magical realism to describe the psychological tenor that is interwoven between body and interior over time; I imagine the conditions needed to put down roots. My enthusiasm for all of the individual things that compose these telescoping interiors presents itself as maximalism. I use color and pattern to unify the digressions of detail within my paintings. I work iteratively, reconfiguring old paintings within new ones to generate worlds within worlds.

I task myself with finding a new genre of visual expression that is representative of the contemporary Asian geopolitical psyche without the influence of Western stereotypes. One main strand of my work includes taking the imagery of traditional Asian tropes and questioning it in a humorous or insouciant way through the physical manipulation of paint. The second strand involves extensive research comparing contemporary popular images that relate to both classical Chinese culture and paintings. I believe classical Chinese culture and art were formed in a particular state of consciousness that brings us a unique aesthetic experience that, in essence, is also a philosophical state of being. I attempt to use the representations of this classical sensibility to create images that generate moments of absorption wherein we can reflect on our shared state of being.

Traces of us linger in the physical world, even in our absence. There is an evocative nature to domestic objects and spaces; items within homes hold the residual energy of lives lived long after people are gone. My work depicts ordinary objects from living rooms that hold a remaining radiance and tenderness of the departed. I work with materials that have weight to them to ground ephemeral concepts into an artwork that is physically solid and fixed. The artwork holds the ideas and feelings, which are light and almost impossible to contain—similar to how homes can hold the lingering domestic presence of those who are gone. Contour lines move across the surface of my paintings like phantoms; or, at other times, one defines the edge of a work, articulating a wing or hand as a fully present body.

My work is about things that are close to me, which I translate through observation and documentation.

Trestle Projects, Critical Feedback Projects Program,

Painting acts like a portal for me to tell the story of feeling trapped in the gap between two countries, where I am a citizen of one, and a resident of another. Finding the resolution among vague memories and vivid life is a journey of reconciling the struggle of disorientation I constantly encounter.

The non-fictional depiction of the accessible surroundings highlights the sensibility required to notice the nuances of expression we often overlook in our daily routine. In order to grasp the tangible connection with the physical world, I try to place my invisible presence in these otherworldly spaces.

Jeremiah Jossim’s work speaks to a deep reverence for the American landscape, but also questions the privileges of recreation, tourism, and who has the right to explore and live alternatively in this country. His practice is deeply concerned with our manipulation of the environment and the ever-growing imbalance that has come to define the Anthropocene. Through examining our relationship with the landscape, his paintings investigate the shape and the feeling of the land, and explore the landscape’s psychological effect on our personal sense of place.

BA, Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH

Since beginning to teach myself how to paint in 2016, and following my graduation from the Painting and Drawing MFA program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2021, my practice has taught me three key lessons: (1) it takes the most difficult work to make something seem simple; (2) the object is trying to feel and understand every emotion as you work through them; and (3) there is always more to learn.

Material Landscape, Social Landscape: Human Presence,

As the realities of political extremism, climate change, and inequality become starker and more bleak, the more I believe we need to reach out and support each other. This can happen with big actions but also with small ones, like simply occupying the same space as someone who needs to not be alone. The spaces I’ve begun to seek out and construct in my larger landscape and interior paintings attempt to reflect the tensions and harmonious connections found in both empty and populated places as we all continue to strive to help one another get through these trying times.

I am creating work that visually presents as—or perhaps somewhere near—wildlife art. That is, I am using the visual language and motifs of this genre to communicate queer themes, identities, and storylines on the rural American stage. Conversely, in generating ruralcore art, I extend an invitation to those who may feel excluded by the sometimes elitist nature of the art world and its institutions. It is important that my work acts as a bridge rather than presents as a Trojan horse. I am interested in generating conversation over critique; between the queer community and rural America, between the canonized fine arts and the commodified wildlife arts, across wealth brackets and beyond a gender binary.
