art lorenzo amos young artist

Lorenzo Amos, a 23-year-old painter based in New York, held his debut solo exhibition at Gratin gallery last fall. The show featured paintings that blend Abstract Expressionist mark-making with the composed clarity of David Hockney portraits, all rooted in the intimate space of his living room-studio. Amos describes his approach as "Material Realism," where image and paint become inseparable, and his work as "painting about painting." He cites his friend Alex as a key influence, emphasizing the freedom found in imperfection.

Blanca de la Torre, director of the Institut Valencià d’Art Modern (IVAM), discusses her concept of the "Museo Anfibio" (Amphibious Museum) in an interview for Artishock Revista's series on Ibero-American museum leaders. She proposes reimagining the museum as a relational institution that mediates between physical and symbolic territories, communities, and ecosystems, structured around two axes: Territories-Earth and Aquatic Environments. The interview is part of a series leading up to International Museum Day, with previous entries including Nicolás Gómez Echeverri of the Banco de la República de Colombia.

Artist in Focus: Louis Pohl Koseda. Constructing the City as Memory.

British artist Louis Pohl Koseda is gaining attention for his intricate works that blend drawing, painting, and architectural theory to explore the city as a psychological structure. His practice, which he terms 'metafictionism,' utilizes fine-line drawing to create layered compositions where figures navigate unstable, theatrical urban environments. Influenced by his upbringing in an East London Hare Krishna community, Koseda’s work focuses on how belief systems and social fabrics are mapped onto the physical and imagined spaces of the city.

Miranda Lee and the Ethics of Attention

Curator Miranda Lee is redefining the presentation of digital and physical art by prioritizing "spatial practice" and the ethics of attention over the art world's typical demand for speed and novelty. Through major projects like RECRAFTED and the MULT Island virtual platform, Lee designs exhibition layouts and digital environments that incorporate "pause points," encouraging viewers to linger and reflect rather than succumb to frictionless scrolling. Her work spans physical galleries in Shanghai and London, as well as immersive virtual spaces, consistently focusing on how identity is staged across different environments.
