JUDY PFAFF

朱迪·普法夫
She mainly created installations but what caught my eye was her paintings. She uses alot of textured materials in both he installations and paintings. Her installations are big scaled pieces that take control of the room there in.

LI EDELKOORT AND MOHAIR SOUTH

The fibrous texture of tissue, the fuzzy follicles of hair, the string-like strands of veins and the bouncing qualities of flesh and skin all provide a starting point for new techniques and colors. Creating a fashion to mirror our own image, celebrating humankind. Mohair is the fiber that can create our splitting image; a versatile fiber that can translate all of these ideas and more, ranging from silk-like furry yarns to entangled textured blends.

oh mei ma weiss
The Oh Mei Ma Weiss Chandelier (also known as the Oh Mei Ma White Chandelier) by Ingo Maurer is fashioned from six sheets of aluminum with a matte-white lacquered textured paint finish. This stylish Ingo Maurer lamp is a sensation to behold. Ingo Maurer’s Oh Mei Ma Weiss is a true classic and a fine example of Ingo Maurer’s artistry. Oh Mei Ma Weiss is composed of 6 thin aluminum shades which are suspended from thin metal cables. The aluminum paper shades are nested above each other to create a soft diffusion of light throughout a space.

Daniel Lefcourt

Double Imposition
Daniel Lefcourt’s monochromatic works criticize and dismantle the processes of painting itself: its inspirations, its materials, and the spaces in which it occurs. Using source material such as photographs of the trash in his studio, Lefcourt creates indecipherable surfaces in low relief that hover between abstract and representational, as well as flat versus textured; The New Yorker has called the artist’s conceptual practice “a surrender to mystery.”

RACHEL PERRY WELTY

Lost In My Life
American artist Rachel Perry Welty makes use of the scads of everyday items we tend to throw away in her new ‘Lost in my Life’ series. She layers the often overlooked items to create a whole new textured landscape. “Most of us don’t pay much attention to the mundane objects we use everyday,” explains Welty, “like the twist ties that hold the plastic wrap on our bread and the broccoli together or the little paper cups that we pull out of a water dispenser.”

Julia Dault

Julia Dault is known for richly textured paintings on pleather, silk, and spandex, and for sculptural works fixed to gallery walls with string and knots. Plexiglas, formica, and Everlast boxing wraps—Dault’s materials of choice—lend her sleek abstract sculptures a raw, industrial aesthetic, while they retain a certain naturalness through their rounded organic forms. In her paintings, Dault likewise focuses on depth and materiality by building up colorful layers of paint and vinyl and then scraping parts away.

There is nothing natural in nature; technology makes our humanness giving form to our surroundings. The human habitat reveals a techno-morphed structure that can no longer be hidden behind the vestiges of a natural world: technology has to be naturalized.

JEAN-PIERRE GAUTHIER

Stressato – Samurai Serpents
File Festival
Samurai Serpents” resembles Jean-Pierre Gauthier’s drawing machines (such as Marqueurs d’incertitude). Like many of the artist’s creations, the work emphasizes graphic quality and the movement of a line in space. On a large panel covered by an “action painting” (that is reminiscent of the textured and dark surfaces of a Borduas, Soulages or Kline), which looks like a (drawing?) table, cables are activated by an approaching viewer and begin to wiggle all over the place, twisting and intertwining in a surprising way – as though they were actually reacting to a threat. In moving about in this way, these silver lines on a black ground continuously change the “painting’s” composition and transform it into an animated image. Like a musical improvisation, the line’s disorganized movements create sounds that vary each time.

Moxibustion

She mainly created installations but what caught my eye was her paintings. She uses alot of textured materials in both he installations and paintings. Her installations are big scaled pieces that take control of the room there in. She is somewhat similar to Karla Black but they have alot of things in contrast aswell. Judy uses alot more darker and bolder colours that i think create a more harsh and busy look. Her pieces also look a bit more edgeyer and eerie almost.
