As I was reading the profiles that comprise this twenty-first edition of Breakout Artists, I was struck by one thought: painting is not dead after all, as four of the ten artists are primarily concerned with what happens with a brush, a palette of pigments and a canvas.
It’s not a zero-sum game, however, as all other forms of artistic expression continue to thrive in this group, too, from photography to performance, from installation to textiles. Isn’t that a great thing?
