We share with you from our Ask Kurt Picks Taylor Anton White, Hunter Potter, and Lisa Klinger
This week we spotlight Taylor Anton White, dismantling the boundaries of painting with restless collage and layered abstraction; Hunter Potter, whose raw, folkloric canvases reframe American painting with bold immediacy; and Lisa Klinger, staging beauty as system and flesh as fact through sharp material presence.
Fresh ideas and urgent voices, these are the artists on our mind in Radar #10.
Taylor Anton White – Painting and Collage from Virginia
Taylor Anton White’s practice dismantles the definition of painting.
Spray paint, duct tape, screen print, and fabric scraps jostle across his surfaces, generating exuberant compositions that hover between chaos and control.

Q&A:
What does Taylor White explore?
He works in the space where control gives way to instinct. His paintings combine figuration, abstraction, and fragments of text or image in a way that lets structure unravel. Each work becomes a negotiation between what holds together and what slips apart.
How does his material approach shape this?
He uses oil, crayon, airbrush, spray, collage, and found objects on raw canvas or panel. Elements are stapled, taped, or sewn directly onto the surface. This approach gives the work a sculptural immediacy where material decisions are visible, direct, and impossible to ignore.

His canvases capture both the familiarity of everyday symbols and the surreal strangeness of their reassembly, layering bold figuration with a graphic punch that evokes myth and memory at once.
Shown across U.S. and European venues, Potter’s work embodies a directness that resists polish, preferring immediacy and raw energy over refinement.

Q&A:
What does Hunter Potter explore?
His practice moves between painting and sculpture, where familiar symbols and cartoon-like figures are pushed into strange, mythic forms. Whether carved from wood or stretched across canvas, his work distorts recognition and makes the everyday feel charged and uneasy.
How does his material approach shape this?
He paints with oil, acrylic, and spray while also carving in walnut, ash, oak, cedar, and cherry. Vivid inlays of paduak, yellowheart, or rosewood punctuate his sculptures, while textured, brightly colored surfaces animate his canvases. Across both mediums, material is never neutral—it carries the rhythm, tone, and meaning of the work.

Q&A:
What does Lisa Klinger explore?
Her paintings probe the line between figure and ground and the moment a flat image begins to act like an object. Recent work shifts from abstraction toward figuration to test that threshold at a human scale.
How does her material approach shape this?
Working in oil on linen, she builds measured surfaces and crisp contours that push the canvas toward sculptural presence, letting the tension between surface and volume carry the meaning.
