On the Ohio-based gallery Abattoir’s stand, gently coloured convex canvases by the Maine-based artist Eleanor Conover meld the elegance of canonical feminist painting with fierce references to Land Art machismo. “This isn’t wallflower art,” says dealer Lisa Kurzner. In her 2024 pieceGranite and Rainbows($9,000), Conover’s bowed stretchers and sewn-in slabs of marble foreground the physicality of her process.
