Modern Painters magazine published its annual "Top 500 Galleries Worldwide" and guess who is in it. Check out the article: Modern Painters
Carbon 12 represents a slew of international institution-grade artists, many of whom work large, and readers won't be disappointed by Gil Heitor Cortesao's triptych, representing Carbon 12 this year in Modern Painters. Cortesao (b. 1967) is a Portugese painter who paints big, heavy, and light all at once (light because he paints on plexiglass framed by actual window frames) to create realistic but barren architectural spaces. A little 70's, a little futuristic, it is sort of like waking up to find that you are the only person left. At least you're in a cool space though.

You also might notice that Cortesao's work has the similar "house-after-the-party's-over" feeling as influential 70's photographer Jeff Wall's work below (exhibited as a lightbox, creating the same eerily luminiscent effect as Cortesao).
