In intense monochromatic hues of black and gray, Quin’s paintings examine the mutability of language and symbol
Los Angeles–based artist Lauren Quin (born 1992) approaches the act of painting as a process of ongoing inquiry. Composed from dynamic, intensely chromatic forms, her paintings challenge our understanding of abstraction. Eyelets of Alkaline focuses on Quin’s latest body of work, which represents a turn from an “overdose” of chromatic intensity toward what she describes as a “detox of color” in a palette of tonal blacks and grays. Alongside vivid illustrations and foldout pages, the publication also includes a new text by the poet, playwright and essayist Ariana Reines, described as “one of the crucial voices of her generation” by Michael Silverblatt on NPR’s Bookworm.
