Theres sth so specific about contemporary american painting (looking at artists born late 80s-early 00s) and im wondering why that is. Did everyone whos now seeing some success go to the same schools and get mentored by the same artists? Maybe its me being prejudiced but my perception of american art schools is that they're pretty formulaic in at the very least the foundational year. Is that where lots of people seem to pick up this smooth-surfaced, semi-autobiographical, semi-surrealist figurative way of painting? And the colour palette is always 'unnatural', w skin reflecting bright colours, and everything's very saturated. There's frequently a solitary figure or the same/a v similar figure repeated. I can't really speak on common themes because I've not seen loads from each of these artists, but I've seen enough to recognise a visual through line............i find it interesting cos coming out of a painting/printmaking programme where everyones practices were wildly different visually but a handful worked w fantastical worlds (often introverted/kinda secretive/private) and a collage-like approach to making, which I've seen a lot in british painting recently.
#we had a guest teacher at by shitty mfa programme who said sth very real about american vs british vs german/continental painting#how americans are concerned with form. the british with storytelling. and the german with theory/concept
