Foreword by JoAnne Northrup. Interview by Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer. Text by Fanny Singer, Juliana Halpert.
"Quin’s paintings roil with the frenetic energy of many lines in motion, each moving with a different weight and at a different speed; the finished compositions hum with the radiant electricity of a neon sign" –Cultured
The paintings of Los Angeles– and San Francisco–based artist Lauren Quin (born 1992) have mesmerized audiences with their electric colors and pulsating lines. Her compositions contain an intricate language of overlapping shapes (most recently, Légeresque tubes), engendering a dizzying multitude of compositional center points. Each painting features motifs—spider, needle, sun—which she then transfers onto the canvas through a monoprint technique. This is the first comprehensive monograph on Quin, accompanying her solo show at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. Featuring a foreword by Nerman director JoAnne Northrup, essays by art historian Fanny Singer and artist and writer Juliana Halpert, and an interview with the artist by curator Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer, My Hellmouth also provides insight into Quin's artistic process.
