Contemporaries: Eleven Abstract Painters

CONTEMPORARIES: the work and words of eleven abstract painters

INTRODUCTION These are eleven abstract painters that I either know personally or have become acquainted with through websites, blogs and other online resources. Their work appeals to my own aesthetic preferences-- for abstraction that is both intuitive and spontaneous, yet also in some way structured, carefully considered and edited for clarity.
