Matthew Stone’s Latest, Medium-Bending Paintings

In a new set of work recently shown in at The Hole NYC, under the title "Neophyte.” He was last mentioned on HiFructose.com here.

“Besides exploring the interaction of two and three dimensionality, where painted strokes become sculpture that then becomes a stretched painting on linen, one key territory this work explores is visibly the technological,” a recent statement says. “Putting aside the painstaking way these pieces are made, what do the technological tools actually open up to artistic expression here, to figure painting?”

With Leon Keer's recent output, the painter continues to craft illusionary gallery work, murals, and installations that play with depth and nostalgia. A recent piece for Thinkspace's anniversary show, titled "Addicted" (below), also saw the artist toying with lenticular painting. On his Instagram page, Keer has also been sharing his anamorphic rooms, in which he moves in and out of the scenes to show their actual planes.

Using the Mongol zurag style of painting, Baatarzorig Batjargal brings a contemporary and globe-spanning mentality into the century-old approach. A native of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, the artist’s distinctive observance of tradition puts a fascinating spotlight on how his home has changed.
Cleon Peterson portrays the brutal struggles between an army of warring figures in his monochromatic illustrations reminiscent of Grecian pottery. Previously featured on our blog here, the Los Angeles based painter and muralist juxtaposes a bold use of minimalism and clean lines with the chaos and violence that exists in today's world. He is unafraid to show the ugly side of human nature, and yet Peterson chooses to see his work as more of a mirror, where looking at our own reflection can have the power to inspire change. Peterson celebrated his solo debut in Hong Kong last night with the opening of his pop-up solo exhibition, "Purity", in cooperation with local arts organization, Over the Influence.
The paintings of Los Angeles based artist Danny Galieote seem to have one foot in the past and one in the future, a style that he describes as "Pop Regionalism", combining Pop art and Regionalism art aspects. Growing up, Galieote spent much of his time listening to his grandfather's war stories, eventually going on to work as an animator on films like The Lion King, Tarzan and Hercules at Disney's Florida studio, a job that requires fundamental understanding of the human figure and stylizing it to suit animation. His command of drawing the figure and appreciation for art and history between the 1920s and 1950s comes together in his uniquely American imagery, recalling those days of the American heartland with apparent modern touches.
