Artist Draw is curated by Klaus Kertess and Betsy Sussler

Gregory Botts’s paintings concisely marry abstraction with figuration, often with a bright palette of blues and yellows derived from painting in plein air. Botts has had recent exhibitions at Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe and at Sullivan Goss Gallery in Santa Barbara.

Joe Bradley shows his blue-collar minimalist paintings at CANADA in New York and at Peres Projects in Los Angeles. He was included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial and had a solo exhibition at PS1 in 2006.

Echo Eggebrecht’s paintings, flatly rendered on birch wood, depict surreal and haunting American landscapes. She has had solo exhibitions at Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery in New York and more recently at Ter Caemer-Meert Contemporary in Belgium.

Eric Fischl has been among New York’s most prominent painters since the early ’80s. A self-described “painter of the suburbs,” he renders characters playing out scenes of bourgeois languor and excess, all draped with the sunshine-dappled suggestion that something is awry.

Karl Haendel - This Los Angeles-based artist’s drawings capture imagery (family photos, mass media images, baseball cards of Jewish players) with stunning verisimilitude. Haendel shows regularly at Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York and has been included in prominent group exhibitions such as Uncertain States of America and the 2006 Whitney Biennial.

Adam Helms’s drawings and installations touch on issues of political radicalism, surveillance, violence, and the American frontier. Helms shows with Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York and recently had a solo exhibiton at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art.

David Kramer - A Brooklyn-based artist, David Kramer’s incisive, diaristic, and often hilarious drawings chronicle relationships with the opposite sex, the art world, and alcohol. His most recent solo show was at Pierogi in January of 2009 and he has recently published several essays in the New York Times.

Keith Mayerson’s figurative paintings, last seen at Derek Eller Gallery last fall, are as likely to depict Barack Obama, the Dalai Lama, and Louise Bourgeois. Their lush brushwork is as deserving of attention as his stately subject matter. 

James Nares - An integral artist and musician of New York’s downtown generation, James Nares has been making his signature brushstroke paintings since the ’80s, when he was an original member of the band the Contortions. His most recent New York solo show was at Paul Kasmin Gallery.   

Danica Phelps - No territory is foreign to the projects of Danica Phelps, for which she makes disarming drawings, lists, and charts meticulously documenting her sex life, fertility treatments, and cash flow. Her most recent solo show took place at Zach Feuer Gallery last year.  

Jason Tomme was an artist-in-residence at The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas, in 2008. His interest in cracks and fissures in painterly and sculptural surfaces results in a practice which he describes as “disrupted minimalism.”

David Salle, master of the painterly collage, has been exhibiting since the early ’80s. Juxtaposing provocative imagery from high and low culture, his paintings have been said to suggest a dramatic monologue of the zeitgeist.

Billy Sullivan has been showing since the late 1970s. His intimate paintings and drawings are visual diaries of sorts, of which Linda Yablonsky has written: “An intricate meld of abstraction and representation, architecture and ornament—Matisse meeting Mondrian after Warhol.”
