I havent seen a feel art on MC Escher… mathematician turned artist seems oh so fitting for the floss.

Remedios Varo, born in Spain, lived in Mexico after fleeing the Spanish civil war.

I love Marisol Escobar from France (but she’s actually Venezuelan!).

African art, hm? How about David Adjaye — he’s an architect. I assume architects count.

Also, Sokari Douglas Camp. She really has an interesting style of sculpture.

John August Swanson. Russian iconographs meet Mexican influences. Color for a taupe world!

Any of the CoBrA group: Asger Jorn, Karel Appel, Corneille (Cornelis von Beverloo), Constant A. Nieuwenhuys, or Pierre Alechinsky.

OOPS! I forgot to specify…all are artists from Copenhagen (”Co”), Brussels (”Br”), or Amsterdam (”A”).
