Beer with a Painter: Helen Miranda Wilson 

by Jennifer Samet February 3, 2018June 8, 2018

Wilson warns me that her studio never looks impressive — a hazard of making meticulous, intimately scaled work.

by Jennifer Samet November 25, 2017November 27, 2017

Essenhigh and Mumford — who live together and work in adjoining studios on the Lower East Side — are unafraid to make declarations about what motivates the other.

by Jennifer Samet August 26, 2017November 22, 2017

Beer with a Painter: Emily Cheng

by Jennifer Samet July 8, 2017July 7, 2017

The forms in Emily Cheng’s paintings are suggestive of the most primary elements: the landscape, the body, and religious iconography.

Beer with a Painter: Paul Wackers

by Jennifer Samet June 10, 2017June 9, 2019

The cozy studio environment and the casual, gonzo aesthetic of the ceramic objects, not to mention Wackers’s personality, may bely how technically precise and complexly orchestrated his paintings are.

Mercedes Matter’s Awful, Wonderful Itch

by Jennifer Samet May 13, 2017May 14, 2017

Matter was a believer in the possibility of channeling a total, magical presence – even if it meant destroying a work or never completing it.

Beer with a Painter: Peter Acheson

by Jennifer Samet April 29, 2017April 28, 2017

Acheson does not care about trading niceties or being ingratiating. He would rather propose and debate philosophical ideas.

by Jennifer Samet March 18, 2017March 17, 2017

This year, the Whitney Biennial includes plenty of painting. And — for the most part — the painting is on message. It’s eccentric figuration with political content.

Beer with a Painter: Jennifer Coates

by Jennifer Samet March 11, 2017March 15, 2017

Coates’s recent work depicts food: spaghetti and meatballs, sprinkle cookies, and s’mores. Her work is about matter and viscosity, but it is also rooted in grid-like structures, repetitive mark-making, and very sophisticated paint handling.

Beer with a Painter: Craig Stockwell

by Jennifer Samet February 25, 2017February 24, 2017

Painters who lived and exhibited in New England, like Jake Berthot and Porforio DiDonna, are highly represented. They, like Stockwell, have straddled the line between tough material abstraction, nature, and the figure.
