At first glance, it would seem that the work of Brian Bress is completely inscrutable. This is a bit odd considering the interpretive translucency of collage, the medium at the heart of his multi-faceted practice. How is it that art with so much figuration, narrative, and cultural referencing seems to resist interpretation, except in terms […]

Organizational systems, networks, interconnection, and interdependence are heavily evident in Mafalda Santos’ work. From the start of her career, the artist has shifted between works on canvas or paper, and direct interventions in exhibition spaces. The relationships between the different media she chooses and the abstract context of her work serve equally as substrates for […]
