✨ An Interview in Depth ✨ Hao Liang: Painting as a Form of Stillness 🎨 @hao___liang ✍️ By Carol Real Editor, @kristen.e.evangelista Hao Liang’s paintings move between precision and atmosphere. Working with ink and mineral pigments on silk, he draws from the language of classical Chinese painting while remaining firmly anchored in the present. His images carry a particular stillness, shaped as much by control as by sensitivity. In this conversation, Hao Liang reflects on painting as a way of organizing emotion, memory, and attention. Tradition is not treated as something fixed, but as a living structure to absorb, rework, and make his own. He speaks with clarity about slowness, sorrow, discipline, and the demands of sustained looking. His works resist fixed time and place, unfolding instead as spaces where memory, feeling, and thought remain in balance. What emerges is not escape, but a quiet insistence on staying present through difficulty. 🔵 Read it here: /hao-liang/ Image credits All artworks © Hao Liang.

✨ An Interview in Depth ✨ Hu Jun Jun & Zhang Huan: In the Desert, Time Listens 🎨 @zhanghuanstudio ✍️ By Carol Real Editor, @kristen.e.evangelista Dunhuang is not a neutral landscape. It is a site where trade, faith, and power have converged for centuries. At the edge of the Gobi Desert, along the Silk Road, history is not represented, it is embedded in the land itself. Within this context, Hu Jun Jun and Zhang Huan realized Explore Silence, a permanent land art installation composed of more than three thousand tons of granite transported across more than two thousand kilometers. Conceived by Hu Jun Jun as the principal creator, in collaboration with Zhang Huan, the work does not attempt to depict history. It confronts it through matter. The installation rejects image and narrative. There are no figures, no symbols. The stones follow a logic close to natural sedimentation, aligning the work with processes that precede culture and representation. What emerges is not an image, but a condition. In this conversation, Zhang Huan reflects on the shift from body to matter, from gesture to duration, and from individual experience to geological time. Silence appears not as absence, but as pressure, as density, as a space where awareness can emerge. 🔵 Read it here: /zhang-huan Image credits Explore Silence, 2025–2026 Artwork by Hu Jun Jun & Zhang Huan 3000+ tons of Taihang Goldgranite Yangguan Erdun, Dunhuang Images courtesy of Hu Jun Jun Studio & Zhang Huan Studio © Hu Jun Jun Studio & Zhang Huan Studio #ZhangHuan #HuJunjun #ArtSummit #ArtSummitMagazine #ContemporaryArt

✨ An Interview in Depth ✨ Yue Minjun: Authority, Interruption, and the Refusal of Resolution 🎨@yueminjun001 ✍️ By Carol Real Editor, @kristen.e.evangelista Yue Minjun’s recent paintings mark a decisive shift within a practice long associated with repetition, recognition, and the iconic laughing face. In this new body of work, presented at Tang Contemporary Art Basel Hong Kong, the image is fractured, obscured, stacked, interrupted, or replaced altogether. Flowers, smoke, and painterly gestures intervene where expression once dominated. Control and sabotage coexist. Authority is asserted and undone at the same time. Rather than performing, the image is subjected to pressure, damage, and ambiguity. In this conversation, Yue Minjun reflects on power, interruption, repetition, and the necessity of disintegration as a way to access a deeper internal logic within his practice. What emerges is not resolution, but endurance. 🔵 Read it here: /yue-minjun Image credits All artworks © Yue Minjun. Courtesy of the artist and Yue Minjun Studio.

✨ An Interview in Depth ✨ William Kentridge, Images That Refuse to Conclude ✍️ By Carol Real Editor, @kristen.e.evangelista @williamkentridgestudio Ph by Yaël Temminck William Kentridge does not use images to explain the world. He builds situations where thinking becomes visible. Drawing, film, theatre, sculpture, and shadow operate as interconnected conditions through which time, material, and uncertainty are tested. In this conversation, Kentridge reflects on the studio as a physical site of friction, on erasure as a form of writing, on repetition as a method of thought, and on meaning as something that emerges through process rather than declaration. Politics and history appear as traces. Narrative remains partial. The viewer is invited to assemble fragments and remain inside uncertainty. What emerges is not a theory of art, but a commitment to making as a way of thinking, and to doubt as a necessary condition of meaning. 🔵 Read it here: /williamkentridge Image credits All images courtesy of the artist. © William Kentridge #WilliamKentridge #ArtSummit #ArtSummitMagazine #ContemporaryArt #ArtInterview

THIS SUNDAY ✨ An Interview in Depth ✨ Roe Ethridge, The Image Misbehaves 📷 @roeethridge ethridge ✍️ By Carol Real Editor @kristen.e.evangelista Roe Ethridge works in the unstable space where images shift meaning through context, sequence, and proximity to other pictures. Commercial commissions, personal photographs, art history, and fragments of visual culture coexist in a practice that treats photography as a field of relations rather than isolated works. His images balance polish and awkwardness, seduction and friction, surface and tension. Rude in the Good Way, published on the occasion of his exhibition with Gagosian in Athens, brings this approach into a more intimate register. Desire, memory, authorship, and collaboration become more visible, particularly through his ongoing work with Lulu Sylbert. Glamour, private life, advertising language, and art historical echoes occupy the same space without resolution. Ethridge allows these contradictions to remain active, letting friction produce meaning. In this conversation, Ethridge reflects on sequencing, the archive, unstable beauty, and the porous boundary between commissioned and personal work. Photography emerges as something that resists fixed interpretation and continues to shift through circulation, context, and the viewer’s encounter with the image. 🔵 Read it here: /roeethridge Image credits All images courtesy of the artist and Gagosian, except book images.

✨ An Interview in Depth ✨ Sean Scully on Collapse, Repair and the Shape of Now 🎨 @seanscullystudio ✍️ By Carol Real Editor, @kristen.e.evangelista Courtesy, @lisson_gallery Sean Scully’s new interview looks at collapse, memory, rebuilding and the tensions that define the present. Across the Tower paintings, he brings together fragments of landscape, the weight of industrial work, echoes of Cubism and the imprint of the World Trade Center. The conversation offers a clear view of how he thinks through vulnerability, power and repair, and how these ideas become structure, color and gesture. Scully speaks about humor, history and the way different visual languages coexist inside one work. The interview follows his process from the first iPhone drawings to the construction and dismantling of each piece. It shows how his practice holds both solidity and restlessness and reveals an artist who continues to question form, memory and the shape of now.

An Interview in Depth ✨ Jennifer Guidi: Between Earth and Light ✨ @jenguidi By Carol Real Editor: @kristen.e.evangelista Ph: Brooklin A. Soumahoro, Brica Wilcox Courtesy: @davidkordanskygallery Late afternoon light in Los Angeles feels like gold suspended in the air. In Jennifer Guidi’s new landscapes, that light becomes a force. The works that form California Dreaming open into horizons that vibrate with color and sand. Mountains rise. Oceans shimmer. Earth and sky meet in a kind of quiet radiance. 🌴California Dreaming opens on Friday, November 7th, from 6–8 PM at @davidkordanskygallery in Los Angeles. For Guidi, sand is both material and meaning. It carries the memory of the ground beneath us, while light pulls everything upward. The paintings invite a slower way of seeing, guided by intuition and the steady rhythm of thousands of hand-painted marks. This return to landscape is also a return to origin. Guidi reflects on the desert of her childhood, the feeling of vastness, and the spiritual shift that happens when nature takes over our full attention. The result is a body of work that feels expansive and grounded at once. Photo 1 Portrait of Jennifer Guidi. Photo: Brooklin A.

✨ An Interview in Depth ✨ Y.Z. Kami: The Face, the Infinite, and the Light Within 🎨 @yzkamistudio ✍️ By Carol Real Editor: @kristen.e.evangelista Courtesy: @gagosian Ph: Cesar Chavez Lechowick, Owen Conway, Rob McKeever In Y.Z. Kami’s work, the human face becomes a landscape of silence. His portraits, whether with eyes open or closed, seem to exist between the visible and the invisible, inviting the viewer into stillness rather than observation. From the monumental Domes and Endless Prayers to the meditative Night Paintings, Kami’s practice moves between matter and light, intimacy and transcendence. He reflects on geometry as a path toward infinity, repetition as a form of prayer, and the way painting transforms the act of seeing into spiritual inquiry. Born in Tehran and educated in Paris, Kami bridges Persian mysticism and Western thought to create what he calls a “visual theology,” where poetry, philosophy, and faith coexist in quiet radiance. 🟣 Read the full conversation: art-summit.com/y-z-kami © Y.Z.

✨ An Interview in Depth ✨ Rick Lowe: Social Sculpture and the Space Between Us 🎨 @rickloweofficial ✍️ By Carol Real Ph: Nate Palmer Courtesy @gagosian Editor: @kristen.e.evangelista For over three decades, Rick Lowe has reshaped what it means to be an artist, weaving art into the lives, struggles, and dreams of communities. From founding Project Row Houses in Houston to creating abstract paintings that carry the traces of memory, geography, and displacement, his work dissolves the lines between artist and citizen, object and action, representation and repair. In this conversation, Lowe reflects on unexpected turns, the influence of Joseph Beuys’ concept of social sculpture, and the quiet ethics of care that guide his vision. What emerges is not a formula but a way of being, porous, attentive, and unafraid to walk the long road to understanding what lies beneath our feet. 🟣 Read it here: /ricklowe . . . . . #RickLowe #ArtSummit #ContemporaryArt #ArtInterview #SocialSculpture #CommunityArt #ProjectRowHouses #PaintingToday #AbstractPainting #ArtAndCommunity #ArtPhilosophy #ArtWorld #ArtPublishing #NewInterview #ArtMagazine #HoustonArtScene #Gagosian
