Artsy's painting board
Artsy's Painting board: hundreds of works by contemporary painters, each tagged with artist, title and year. A quick way to find new names.
What it is
The Painting board from Artsy, the online art platform. It had 627 pins when we checked, with new ones added in September 2026. Each work carries the artist's name, the title and the year, sometimes the gallery.
Why we picked it
Most art feeds circle the same famous names. This one leans toward contemporary painters you probably haven't met yet, and that's the point. In our scroll we saw 2025 and 2026 works by Jenya Datsko, Joaquín Reyes, Tuan Vu, Olivia Botha, Nicole Williford, Carlo Krone and Nicolina Morra. Alongside them are better-known names: a large, colorful installation by Katharina Grosse, My Country by the Australian artist Kudditji Kngwarreye, and a piece by Yago Hortal.
The format is handy. You see a painting and immediately know who made it and when. If it grabs you, you have what you need to look up the artist.
The board is active, with new works added regularly, so you can follow it like a small daily exhibition right in your feed.
