Featurette: MANDY GREER


Mandy Greer's work is living, warm, natural, social, and magic. Having just discovered her, I am still taking it all in and will in time post a more substantial post(including an interview) on this artist and her bewitching work.

In the meantime, click on these images to see more of her work or follow the links below. Her blog, A Quickening is also worth a look if you enjoy the Imaginarium.

Featurette: RAQIB SHAW


Opulant. indulgent, ornate, somewhat debauched and betraying his Kashmiri roots, Raqib Shaw's works are like tide pools left behind from the dreams of the night before.

DANIEL RICHTER


Daniel Richter's dense paintings with mysterious figures often among a chaotic mesh of elements that wonderously pull together are surprisingly potent, cohesive and beautiful.

He studied under Werner Büttner in Hamburg at the Hochschule für bildenden Künste and has exhibited internationally. David Richter is represented by CFA Berlin and David Zwirner New York.
