Profoundly shaped by the events, forces, and overflow of today's disjointed, social-media-heavy life, these artists' paintings are "disrupted" stylistically, thematically, or sometimes both.
They allow us to appreciate how art relates to the "super-fast, simultaneous, almost dizzyingly paced scrolling" of our lives.
