Paul Mogensen (b. 1941, Los Angeles, California) is a New York-based painter who has often been associated with Minimalism, although his mathematical, progressional work resists categorization. Rather than reproducing the reductive geometric abstractions of his Minimalist contemporaries, Mogensen uses an iterative format to activate the picture plane. His paintings are meant to be deciphered rather than easily comprehended: often full of movement, they actively draw the eye across the canvas. Each painting is calibrated according to the rules of elemental mathematics, particularly those deriving from Renaissance and Ancient Egyptian theorems. Mogensen uses such arithmetic progressions to determine the sequence and size of each color form. The resultant morse-code-like arrays call to mind the universalist ideas of early 20th century Russian artists and poets admired by Mogensen, such as Mayakovsky, Rodchenko, and Tatlin.

Alvaro Barrington: Oh, Sandy? Sandy, Sandy at Karma New York:

Figuring it out is hard and I’m sorry

We have to be gentle with each other’s hearts

I Like America and America likes me

How dare you make this harder

Why cant you let me have this

You cant be this liberally idiotic like common sense has to come into play at some point

Russiagate

Show me the incentive and ill show you the outcome

Alternative currency schemes

They fell for the rhetoric they fell for the hype

Negros take abuse as a sign of love

The patina of the privilege class

The story is no longer the boss instead we sell narratives

I think most people just want to improve their condition and i dont think people are as tied up on the philosophy of the government as they are about improving their condition

The creation of the library across the united states was the greatest act of philanthropy

We must build before the backshots

Unholy alliance

Every debt is a social obligation

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

I think they just dont care about the sensitivities and not caring about the sensitivities when you’re talking about black people when your talking about black people not caring about them is the same as hating them

Pop culture is Art plus time

Alternative asset class

Experienced to be photographed

Rage against the dying of light

Chief everything officer

Professional buzz words

Peak entitled neoliberal feminist

Betta belly burst than good food waste

We have all become very adept at saying things that are technically true but lack context

People want any type of Fame even if its embarrassing

You know the family dynamics on repeat

You reading about you and you aint wrote

Middle class laziness and entitlement masquerading as social justice warriors

Id prefer clarity to agreement

The Math aint Mathing

You ever lived with somebody while they eating you starved

Asset Bubble

Of all the things i care about this is below my line

Educated by other people’s interest

Who is served by these stories

Research

Sam Jablon:

his style is influenced from his background in poetry

often experiments with layering and erasing

creates a duality in the implementation of text, the text can be legible and abstract

challenges the viewers perception

exploring image and language creating a unique and engaging viewing experience

often because of his poetry background the letters in his works become the foundation on which the rest is built

the use of colour also alters the way in which the work is received

i also like the movement of the colour like within the letters its like this flossy string of paint

Alvaro Barrington:

combines painting, sculptures, textiles and found objects

utilises vibrant colours, layered textures and references to high art and pop culture

he aims for authenticity and self awareness

Alvaro Barrington's work is celebrated for its depth, cultural resonance, and innovative use of materials

his multi-cultural upbringing heavily influences his art

exploring themes of Caribbean diaspora, Black culture, and personal history

Steven Harrington:

vibrant and playful aesthetic rooted in the Californian lifestyle and pop culture

incorporates elements of skate culture, music, and nature

it spits out this undeniable laid back feel

explores the symbol of the palm tree as a reference to the environment

large scale paintings, digital art, prints and sculpture

Iconography

his work is a form of personal poetry, expressing his thoughts and feelings

is a vibrant blend of personal expression and cultural reflection

to me its like child-like but yet its not, i guess because of the amount of detail and quality of the work but still it has the child-like/comedic feel to it

Reference Images / things i'd like to explore- INSPO:

all the images seen above have had an influence in my practice this semester

although there may not be a direct link between them and my work, i often find myself just looking at them to spark up some ideas they were inspiration
