SIMONE FATTAL
Centaur, 2004
stoneware
Presented by Kaufmann Repetto
Simone Fattal’s ceramics and stonewares are so remarkable. You can see the master of her turn of hand evident in the sculptures.
TANIA PÉREZ CÓRDOVA
Contour #9, 2021
Bronze poured into sand
Presented by Tina Kim Gallery
When looking at artwork, I’m always inspired by materiality. The amalgam of bronze and sand, and the consequence, is really unexpected.
HYUN-SOOK SONG
8 Brushstrokes over 1 Brushstroke, 2012
tempera on canvas
Presented by Zeno X Gallery
Hyun-Sook Song’s work is a masterclass in technique. The attention to detail is meticulous!
Milky buttercream, foam, and blue neon in Maya Stovall’s lights evoke emotion and are truly unique.
BRAM BOGART
Kruis Wit, 1971
Mixed media
Presented by White Cube
I love Bram Bogart’s expressive painting. This monochromatic version is incredibly striking.
