5 Artists the Artnet Gallery Network Is Watching This November

This month, we're looking at artists working everywhere from Brooklyn to Berlin.

 

We’re all in need of a distraction from the news cycle, and over at the Artnet Gallery Network, we’ve been channeling our anxieties into discovering new works by incredible contemporary artists from around the world.

This month, we’ve tapped into everything from electrically colorful portraits on view in Berlin, to meditative abstract woven works in Brooklyn.

If discovering new artists calms your nerves, here are five artists you may enjoy this November.

Seoul-born, Los Angeles-based artist Mimi Jung’s woven works combine textiles with the crisp geometric shapes of Modernism. Taking many, many hours to create, the weavings have delicate tonal shifts that are reminiscent of Agnes Martin’s meticulously subtle grids. Meanwhile, Jung’s recurring ellipse motif calls to mind the stark shapes and contrasts of Georgia O’Keeffe’s desert scenes.
