The Transcendental Painting Group 

Frieze Los Angeles 2023 is here, and one of the highlights is the exhibition ‘Another World: The Transcendental Painting Group, 1938-1945’ at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The Transcendental Painting Group achieved their modernity through potently charged shapes, patterns, and archetypes that they believed dwelled in the “collective unconscious.” The artists looked to a wide variety of literary, religious, and philosophical forces, including Zen Buddhism, Theosophy, Agni Yoga, Carl Jung, and Friedrich Nietzsche. 

Convinced that an art capable of being intuitively understood would have equal validity to representational painting in an era of uncertainty, political divide, and fear, they attempted to promote abstraction that pursued enlightenment and spiritual illumination. According to their manifesto they strove “to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world, through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual.”

The group, which came to include Agnes Pelton, Lawren Harris, Florence Miller Pierce, Horace Pierce, William Lumpkins and Dane Rudhyar, among others, followed the guidance of Raymond Jonson and Emil Bisttram, who were in turn heavily influenced by the colour theories of Wassily Kandinsky.

S C A L E. U P I’m not going to lie. I’m obsessed with these new scaled up mono-prints. They could definitely go bigger though, what do you think? Shall I test a few even bigger versions?

An eagle soars over the hills as we drive around the coast at the Nobbies! Despite a lack of blue sky and sunshine the vistas are beautifully serene! Some Cape Barren Geese enjoyed posing for shots and Ma enjoyed the company of Jenny on our little road trip! At Bass I had to stop and film the camels that reside in a paddock on the highway! We started our journey at Newhaven enjoying a curry pie and a broccoli/cauliflower pie washed down with a coffee! Jenny kept guard outside the car as we savoured the bounty! Thanks Ben from Saltwater Phillip Island who gave us some water for Jenny! His restaurant is worth trying, great food wine and views across the bay! We have had a few visits with mum when she was more mobile! At 100 and closer to 101 she’s happy to stay in the car now! Mum Jenny and I had a lovely few hours on a cool Tuesday afternoon! #birdsscape #thenobbies #phillipisland #roadtrip #onthewingsofaneagle #soaringeagle #capebarrengeese #birds_adored #ww_australia #serene #calmseas #closerto101 #escapefromthenursinghome #drivingmisslinda #lindalinda #pastoremaremmanoabruzzese #seaair #godscreationisamazing #naturespalette #mardi #été #decembre #islandpies #newhavenphillipisland #saltwaterphillipisland @saltwaterphillipisland @islandpies_bakery_newhaven #blessed (at Phillip Island, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXLMeTeP3ML/?utm_medium=tumblr

Who isn't inspired by nature? We have a beautiful little visitor this morning as she sunned herself on our front window ledge flowerpot. I guess she's not afraid of heights! 🦋 #beautifulnaturepic #butterflyflyaway #natureisbeautiful #naturespalette #butterflyphotos #beautifulmorning #ilovenature #godscreation #beautifullymade #beautifulinsects #naturetherapyforsoul #naturalhealing #beautyinnature #anthonyhodgsonart https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7tcc7sWel/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nancy Cadogan

“A book contains an entire universe you can only bring to life in your imagination, if you agree to give it time. It is a tribute to privacy, an honouring of the interior life.” – Nancy Cadogan

Nancy Cadogan is a British figurative painter living in the UK. She has been exhibiting her work globally since 2004 with shows in London, New York, Rome, Oslo and Miami. Cadogan paints from imagination and observation to explore themes of literature, time, and still moments. Her paintings invite the viewer to share her joyful appreciation of contemplative observation. Her focus on colour and movement rather than perspective or shadow enables a more sensory experience that collapses boundaries between reality and the imagined.

Cadogan’s paintings in the ‘Still Reading’ series, engage with ideas of time and a private dialogue with literature. The genesis for the series originates from 2011, when she made her first book paintings for the London Antiquarian Book Fair. They capture the immense potential and excitement of reading and the possibilities of language within their diminutive scale. In one sense, the works are typical of the still life genre and record a sense of time passing. In another, they reflect on the concept of stillness more widely, as a rare condition within our hyper-networked contemporary reality, and instead celebrate quiet reflection.

R E D. O C H R E. I thought I would pop my face on Instagram to say hi to you all! I have had quite a few new followers recently so this is me with my latest painting. This gorgeous deep and richly pigmented colour is from a gorgeous red ochre from the Red Ochre Trail in Wick. Swipe to see the earth for yourself. I am yet to visit and collect some of this earth myself but I will be making my way there soon with the doggy…not sure she will return to London white but most probably very RED! Do you have any interesting earth colours near to you? Let me know so I can add it to my list of places to visit! #redochre #redsoil #redearth #earthcolours #naturespalette #abstractart #abstractpainting #watercolourpainting #artcollector #artcurator #artgallery #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #contemporaryart #contemporaryartcollector #contemporaryartcollectors #contemporaryartdaily #contemporaryartgallery #contemporaryartist #contemporaryarts #contemporaryartwork #contemporarypainting #creative #fineart #instaart #modernart #geometricart #paint (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChW1ep1s-4D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
