When I was still in school, I mostly encountered artists through lectures, recommendations from professors, books, etc., and it was usually “high art.” Nowadays, illustration dominates my radar, probably due to its prevalence in magazines, blogs, editorials, and the broader excitement about vintage graphic design. But I would like to find time to keep up with painters, photographers, and artists, especially the ones that really resonated with me when I was first introduced to them. Toba Khedoori, for example. I would love to see these pieces in person since scale plays a key role in their reception. Plus it’d be nice to have an excuse for another NYC trip.
