From Print to Painting to Print: CTRL+P at Arlington Arts Center
Brian Chippendale came to prominence as a leading figure in the underground art and music scene that blossomed in Providence, RI during the 1990s. At the center of this creative explosion was Fort Thunder, an expansive live-work space co-founded by Chippendale in 1995 that occupied the second floor of an historic mill. Part performance space, part printshop, part residence, Fort Thunder was ultimately purchased by a developer and demolished in 2002, giving way to a supermarket and office supply store.

In the Studio: The Process of a Painting with Jave Gakumei Yoshimoto
Jave Gakumei Yoshimoto’s (NAP #99 & 102) recent work "Baptism of Concrete Estuary" was massive in size and massively received.
After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Yoshimoto began working on a scroll painting to highlight the destruction and devastation the country faced. What began as a small endeavor, however, grew to be a 30 foot long scroll painting that also acted as a fundraiser for building an art center in Japan in the wake of nature’s destruction.

The Masked Men and Women of Michelle Ramin
Michelle Ramin (NAP#99), composes colored pencil portraits of her friends and family. Sounds cute and cuddly at first, but not necessarily. Ramin’s portraits depict those close to her in great detail, all while they are wearing face masks. Creepy, yet personal; Scary, yet seductive, Ramin’s works are compositionally and conceptually challenging both on an individual and larger societal level.

More or Less Editorial Content In New American Paintings? (POLL)
We are always looking for suggestions and ways to improve New American Paintings. Since its inception, the printed magazine has always been about the artists selected for the publication, with little editorial content other than a juror essay. While we have no intention of ever changing its primary function, over the years we have added features like "Spotlight" and "Behind the Scenes," where we visit the studios, galleries, and minds of current contemporary painters and gallerists.
