Jacqueline Humphries

In the new monograph from Walther König, David Joselit writes, "Jacqueline Humphries’ silver paintings manifest this dynamic of temporal contraction and dilation as a push-pull toward and away from the paintings themselves. The reflective surfaces of her nearly square canvases give them the flavor of postindustrial infrastructural components like solar panels or the beautiful silvery surfaces of Apple iPads writ large. But whatever their seductive qualities, these reflective works throw the viewer back out into her own space. I think this is what Humphries meant when she remarked in a 2012 interview, 'I’m continuing to work with the metallic paint that I’ve been involved with for some years now where the light isn’t in the painting, but remains outside it... And I ask myself questions: Does painting even have an interior? Is it all exterior? Can you enter it, or are you just up against a wall?'" Featured image is "Untitled" (2010).
