We came down to Miami for Art Basel looking for new talent and inspiration going into the new year, and a late night web search in our hotel room brought a great body of work of an artist we weren't familiar with: Noah Jamison Hall Frase. The RISD alum graduated in 2011 in illustration. 

On view at the Rhode Island School of Design's Museum of Art is Spencer Finch's exhibition Painting Air. The show has received a long list of appraisals for Finch's in depth investigation of his own practice with many parallels drawn to the work of others included in the show (these others range from William de Kooning to Monet).
