We’re excited to release the cover of issue 91.3/4 today. It’s by Alex Blau and titled Call and Echo and from 2019 (Acrylic on canvas. 36” x 36”). 

A proofed copy of the issue is in the hands of our publisher and with any luck should be on its way to readers in time of the holiday! You can check out the table of contents here.

Alex Blau has an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design and works primarily in painting. By variously utilizing graphic languages associated with things like disposable consumer goods, computer generated archi- tectures and unfolding mandalas, Blau’s work both points to abstraction’s open-ended possibility and highlights its incorporation into mass culture. Blau has had solo shows at several venues, including Zeitgeist Gallery in Nashville, Firecat Projects in Chicago, Gallery Seomi in Seoul, Mark Moore Gallery in Santa Monica, Barbara Davis Gallery in Houston and the New Britain Museum of American Art. She currently teaches paint- ing and drawing at Vanderbilt University.
