When You See Me Again It Won’t Be Me is Kerstin Brätsch’s laconic title for another of her works. The paintings of New York based artist Kerstin Brätsch alternate between a distant third-person perspective and an enthusiastic, slogan-like voice promoting the Kerstin Brätsch “brand” with titles like Kerstin Kopy Kommerzial.

Known for his fantastical invention, biting wit, and distorted figuration, renowned American painter Jim Nutt has focused on portraits of female heads for the past two decades. These imaginary portraits are similar in some ways, yet each is distinctly individual. Jim Nutt: Coming Into Character is a retrospective that emphasizes the development of these important paintings through their precedents in his own work, on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, from January 29 to May 29, 2011.

Asgar/Gabriel are masters of confusion with allusions to art history, visual mystifications and overall terrific painting. Remarkably, the typical male dominance which is prevalent in most paintings is broken due to the fact that almost exclusively women are portrayed. The future is female.
Describing Millais’ Ophelia as “a trigger in my art; an inspiration for what I’m doing”, American artist Ed Ruscha reveals a long-held fascination with one of Tate’s most admired paintings and explains the impact it has had on his work.

The exhibition debuts the newest body of paintings in this artist’s ongoing investigation of the interrelationship of site, history, and object. The artist developed this series, titled I Love—The Eyelid Clicks/ I See /Cold Poetry, Chapter 18, using photographs in SFMOMA’s collection that resonate with motifs explored in the poems of Jack Spicer, such as the moon, mirrors, baseball, TV, male lovers, and the camera.

Luc Tuymans (born 1958) is considered to be one of the most significant painters working today, and his distinctive visual style and approach to issues of history and memory have influenced an entire generation of younger artists. Interested in the after-effects of the most traumatic events of the last and present century and their representation in the mass media, Tuymans uses a muted palette to create paintings that are at once sumptuous and subtle, enigmatic and disarmingly stark.
Dan Colen clearly doesn’t need any more press than he already received in the New York Times today. However, now that we have all enjoyed photographs of him making a “grass” painting and audio of him discussing his practice, can we pause for one minute and talk about how weird it is that he is [...]
