I'm a big fan of Hansen's human scale drawings— simultaneously engaging the act of drawing and the lyrical movements of contemporary dance, where the resulting drawing functions as a document of movement in space.

An artist who spends countless hours on works of art that are designed to be fleeting and temporary, I have great respect for Denevan's drawings. I find the combination of his minimal materials and the shear scale of his works inspiring.

Grade makes sculptural and installation works that resinate with me in a profound way. Grade's sublimely beautiful, minimal, sculptural forms poetically embrace both space and time and are marked by an incredible level of craft and attention to detail.

I respond to the way that Cha uses repetition of a simple rigid, element to create free flowing topographical forms. I feel a kindred relationship with her process, where unplanned structures emerge as synthesis focused work over time.

Robert Montgomery

London, UK

"

I appreciate creating and encountering art out of it's traditional context— Montgomery's profound, poetic, text-based works engage viewers in the street, outside of the aesthetically neutral walls of the gallery. I am especially drawn to the documentation images of works that employ illuminated text in vacant city streets at night.
