Mary Heilmann
American · b. 1940
Heilmann shares Connors's approach to bold colorful abstraction on rigid supports, exploring the relationship between surface materiality and gestural mark making with a similarly playful yet rigorous formal sensibility.
Charline von Heyl
German · b. 1960
Von Heyl creates contemporary abstract paintings that blend gestural and figurative elements with bold color relationships, directly paralleling Connors's interest in abstraction that hovers between pure form and bodily reference.

Owens investigates surface materiality and the tension between abstraction and figuration in acrylic based works with vibrant colorful gestures, reflecting the same contemporary American painterly concerns present in Connors's panel work.
