Here's a quick blog post about some of my favorite figurative expressionists in the contemporary art world. These artists explore the boundaries between realism and abstraction. Their works reference the masters of action painting (de Kooning, Pollock), mixed media (Rauschenberg, Bearden), pop (Warhol), color field (Frankenthaler), and painterly portraiture (Freud, Bacon), while synthesizing their own visual language. Electronic media also exerts a huge influence among many of these painters, some of whom employ glitched, pixelated imagery as a modern take on impressionism. I admire these artists' virtuosity and refusal to settle on a formulaic, marketable style. Rather, these artists continue to experiment with technique, materials, and content. Click on their links and explore their work.

Sarah Awad was born in Pasadena, California and earned a BA in Mathematics in 2003, a BFA in 2007 from the Art Center College of Design, and an MFA in in painting in 2011 from the University of California, Los Angeles. She has exhibited her work throughout California, as well as Florida, Chicago, Seattle, and the Netherlands. The artist’s references include the great early Modernists: Degas, Matisse and the Fauves, Picasso, Bonnard, Gauguin, Maillol, Modigliani, Kandinsky, etc… as well as the artists of the California “figurative school” such as Diebenkorn, David Park, and Elmer Bischoff whose work developed in response to Abstract Expressionism. Her earlier paintings have elements that suggest the work of the Belgian painter, Michael Borremans… … whose paintings appear like deadpan renderings, filtered through Velazquez and Manet, of photographs of mundane imagery. Awad’s paintings suggest the flatness… yet the embrace of the sensuality of paint that might be found in the paintings of Fairfield Porter: Alex Katz: Richard Diebenkorn: David Park: Elmer Bischoff: Paul Wonner: … and especially Kevin Bean: Last November, Awad had a solo exhibition at Diane Rosenstein Fine Art in Los Angeles, California, entitled “The Women”. The exhibition catalog states, “(Sarah Awad) reawakens our detached assumptions about the transcendent purity of minimalism and – in what becomes a return of ‘The Return of the Figure’ – continues a contemporary conversation with the work of Cecily Brown, Marlene Dumas, and John Currin. The monumental paintings in The Women frequently present an illusory female nude – often in outline – which emerges then recedes from an abstract ground. With both the nudes and several intimate landscapes, the artist employs an expressive palette and the power of scale to convey an unsentimental but fauvist sensuousness.” The unabashed pleasure that Awad takes in the sensuality, the “juiciness”, and beauty of paint, color, and the female body makes her a joy to watch… and certainly an artist to watch.

Joan Eardley’s career lasted barely fifteen years: she died in 1963, aged just forty-two. During that time she concentrated on two very different themes: the extraordinarily candid paintings of children in the Townhead area of Glasgow; and paintings of the fishing village of Catterline, just south of Aberdeen, with its leaden skies and wild sea. These two contrasting strands are the focus of this exhibition, which looks in detail at her working process. It draws on a remarkable archive of sketches and photographs which remain largely unknown and unpublished.
