Land+Living: Miya Ando Stanoff

Art — February 23, 2005 Posted by Anthony

Minimalist metal artwork

Miya Ando Stanoff is a minimalist metal artist who creates artwork on metal canvases. She utilizes traditional metalworking techniques such as grinding, sanding, and the application of heat, along with acids, solvents and metal-based pigments to create varied textures on her canvases. In the right setting, her work will really stand out.

Miya Ando Stanoff is a minimalist metalworker; employing steel and pigment to create quiet, meditative environments. Working solely in two-dimensional metal panels, she is ultimately interested in the study of subtraction to the point of purity, simplicity and refinement.

Update: Her work is on display at Zinc Details in San Francisco through February 28th.
Update II: Received a Ligne Roset SF installation shot from Miya today (2/25), thanks! (see below)

these pieces are gorgeous - they look nothing like rothko (who was all about the use of color)

Sublime

The work is definitive and brave. It is difficult to achieve such surety working with self restrictions. Powerful.

dig deeper

look at more than the surface. Sure there is a resemblance to Rothko in the division of space, but you can't reduce either artist that single element.
