Spring 2023 Quarterly #225

Juxtapoz is excited to announce our Spring 2023 Quarterly, featuring the cover artwork of Spanish painter, Fatima de Juan.

The art world at large is always seeking the next big thing, searching for an artist that other galleries haven’t exhibited or looking for a painting that no other dealer can find. The hidden treasure is often the centerpiece of the discussion when we talk about art, and it's often related to being financially beneficial to someone. But maybe there is also something spiritual we desire, something that moves us, that helps explain the world in an expansive, multi-dimensional way. One of my favorite moments is when I discover the benches and seats in a gallery or museum just made for sitting and staring for hours on end, an experience that’s even more satisfying when catching sight of someone else enthralled and enveloped by an artist’s work. 

The Spring Quarterly is full of discovery where we least expect it, from Caleb Hahne Quintana’s investigation into his family’s migration, Jesse Mockrin’s allegorical masterpieces, Hayley Barker’s secret gardens, Gregory Rick’s journey to the center of the museum world, Sadie Barnette’s exploration of language, to Tish Murtha documenting the power of a lost generation, and cover artist Fátima de Juan tackling the graffiti world as woman and warrior princess for a new century. We seek and are surprised, day in and day out, and the beauty is that in each Quarterly, you join this ongoing odyssey.
