Margo Sarkisova — Of War and Peace

Margo Sarkisova, Black Sun Rising, 2022

Isadore&Dunn Art Gallery, (for whom I am a co-founder) put up a show this season from Margo Sarkisova, an Assyrian artist from Ukraine who has had to deal with life under attack from Russia’s full scale invasion in February. The work reflect the anxiety of an artist whose world is on its head, from a time where her future and her safety were very uncertain.

We thank her for sharing these prints and her experience in the hopes that it sheds more light on the real human experience of living through such a difficult situation.

See the show here.

George Condo on Drawing

George Condo is an American painter and artist. He lives in New York.

He talks about Picasso and early 20th century artists rebelling against his classical training… for Condo painting in the 80’s it was all about rebelling against abstraction. Back to figurative image making.

Walk Like You: Samuel Yeon

Samuel Yeon has, like many of these artists, a very graphic angular style. Amazing colors as well. And digital work that looks maybe more rich than real media but very true to tradional art media. I've been actively thinking about this style and work for quite a while now. A great goal to aim toward in my opinion.

Walk Like You: Gruau

René Gruau has such a stripped down and evocative graphic style. Flat colors and straight lines. Amazing use of both flat color and tactile textures as well. A legend.
