Five Artist:
Jamian Juliano (Surrealism Painter)
Susan Rothenberg (Landescape Painter)
Amy Sillman (Abstract Painter)
Salman Toor (Painterfocuses on Queer Art)
Phyllida Barlow (Sculpture and Painter)
Themes Artist Addressed about making work:
1. Jamian Juliano-Villani's work mainly focuses to create surreal paintings, she describes them in a way to communicate her own emotions and feelings, since she can’t really connect with people, so her paintings do it for her.
2. Susan Rothenberg does paintings, mainly focusses on the series of works she did after she moved to her new studio in Mexico, since she was living in the hills experiencing a new point of view and evolving interest in observing and experiencing events.
3. Amy Sillman is an abstract artist, Removal is a big part of her work. The way she talks about abstract artwork as an experience. She uses, scrappers, paper towels, and foam brushes. Presenting her work in 2 main ways, either a very layered abstract painting, or a long horizontal drawing, print and paint-making sequences, appearing as if it is capturing time.
4. Salman Toor’s Most paintings are based on memories, and fantasies of how he grew up. His work mainly focuses on the ideas of freedom and vulnerability. Most of his paintings are reflections of his conversations with friends, queer relationships he’s made since he moved to the United States.
5. Phyllida Barlow’s work is based on sculpture, she is an artist in London, and has experimented with non-traditional, modest materials like cement, fabric, plaster, Pollywood, and metal. It was nice to see her work and be interested in the production and processes of an idea.
Challenges the artist faced while making their work:
1. Jamian Juliano-Villani's faced many personal and emotional challenges while making her work, as well as not being able connect or communicate with people in a personal level due to a rough childhood and having a few friends.
2. Susan Rothenberg, the light changes to her new studio and new points of view, and doesn't have a sense of series, feels like every painting is a battle. Also, gets a hold of an idea for long periods of time, years she mentions.
3. Amy Sillman struggles with long-times to find the abstract and can’t name her artworks, thinking there could be regret in her artwork, and the constant battle with mistakes.
4. Salman Toor, Talks about his struggles growing up as a child, and how he moved to the United States and thought of it as a new magical place where it was okay to have long hair and be gay.
5. Phyllida Barlow, lived through the war in London during the 40’s, has quite a lot of memories of - London being damaged, and connects her sculpture work with the damages of the past. Struggled with art school rules when drawing,
Inspirations I got from each artist:
1. Jamian Juliano-Villani's way of communicating her feelings through paintings and using her environmental surroundings, it was amazing seeing her work with her research and the way she used a projector with a huge stock of random images.
2. Susan Rothenberg, the way she mixes colors and never uses them in her natural bright color, washing them down and adding in places where there is contrast. Also, the way she expresses colors, and obsessions at a time with Certains palettes and points of view.
3. Amy Sillman's work, the way she represented time in her artwork and how it portrayed the idea of decomposition as if I was saying multiple layers of the same drawing, to give the illusion of capturing time.
4. Salman Toor, color exploration in each artwork amazes me, the way light is captured and treats objects placement. There is a feeling of surrealism to his paintings that gives you the feeling of freedom and hope.
5. Phyllida Barlow‘s work the way she can capture such beautiful shapes and forms with her sculptures, and have a sense of areal space, where sculpture could end up in places it wasn’t meant to be.
Things I would Incorporate into my work:
1. Jamian Juliano-Villani's The way she captures surrealism and explores different ideas or scenarios with a huge amount of stock references.
2. Susan Rothenberg, her illusionism and shadow work were so beautiful, and her own expressionism through landscaping or environmental events, would be a nice study practice.
3. Amy Sillman, she documented and talked about the abstract and her paintings, as if it was the whole history of a painting. As if nothing was stable, and time was shaken. I would implement her layer separation, and painting techniques to make variants of my drawings.
4. Salman Toor, his Surrealism ideas on objects and placements with no meaning, yet making it seem like they belong there in his paintings.

5. Phyllida Barlow, all the materials she uses to make her sculptures fascinate me, the feeling she talked about making her best work while she wasn’t in the studio, would be something that I would implement to my work, see what changes would happen while I make art.
