Hugo McCloud's artistic practice developed through his tireless
experimentation with materials. The artist finds beauty in the
everyday - thus disposable bags, aluminum plates, or bronze panels
treated with acid turn into artistic tools. What is unique is not
only his inventiveness, but also the broad range of themes he
outlines with his art. Hugo McCloud finds expression for social and
political problems through his media. He dissects and explores
materials and makes them appear in a completely new light. McCloud,
who came to art as a self-taught artist, has created a remarkable
oeuvre to date, which is now illustrated in this survey
publication.

Landon Metz's abstract paintings reflect the artist's deliberate
and meditative attention that endures throughout each phase of the
artist's process. From stretching canvas to selecting his specific
palette to the actual application of paint and subsequent creation
of form, the end result of such intense concentration is an energy
that seemingly reverberates from Metz's work. Curving forms of
mesmerizing color on individual canvasses are often exhibited as
diptychs and triptychs, or serially installed next to one another
in installations to form a larger dialogue, creating pattern and
rhythm. Metz's artworks communicate a contemporary voice engaging
directly with the larger dialogue of abstraction's expansive
history. The forms and repetition found in nature are often sources
of inspiration for Metz, the artist being from Arizona where rock
formations shaped over thousands of years are direct examples of
the relationship between time, material, and form. This book brings
together numerous examples of this young tour de force's elegant
oeuvre, while exemplifying the ways in which such a spirit of
studied precision and deliberation holds enduring value in a world
that seems to move faster with each passing day.

In a practice spanning nearly two decades, Jose Dávila has created
an expressive body of work that explores the visual tropes and
iconic symbols of art, architecture, and urban design. Initially
trained as an architect and self-educated as a visual artist,
Dávila creates sculptures, installations and photographic works
that simultaneously emulate, critique, and pay homage to
20th-century avant-garde art and architecture, referencing artists
and architects from Luis Barragán to Josef Albers and Donald Judd.
Humor and melancholy co-mingle in works that often explore the
tension between industrial and organic materials and the forces of
compression and balance. This monograph assesses the full scope of
Dávila’s practice in all media for the first time, and includes
texts attesting to the historical and social dimensions of
Dávila’s art. Essays address the artist’s early pieces, his
exercises on balance, sculpture, graphics and paintings, and his
works in public space.
