Cecily Brown
British · b. 1969

Cecily Brown works with gestural, expressive mark making using acrylic and oil on large canvases, sharing Bernhardt's energetic application of paint and abstract expressionist sensibility. Her loose, layered brushwork and vibrant color relationships echo the spontaneous quality found in Green.

Josh Smith
American · b. 1976

Josh Smith creates bold, gestural abstract paintings using acrylic on canvas with a similarly irreverent and prolific studio practice that emphasizes raw color and expressive paint handling. His work shares Bernhardt's embrace of spray paint, flat color fields, and a deliberately casual mark making approach.

Laura Owens
American · b. 1970

Laura Owens combines acrylic and spray paint on large scale canvases to create works that blend abstraction with gestural energy, closely paralleling Bernhardt's mixed media technique and contemporary approach to color field painting. Her playful yet sophisticated handling of paint surfaces resonates strongly with the qualities present in Green.
