Published by Karma Books, New York. Text by Lauren O’Neill-Butler.
This volume commemorates New York–based painter Marley Freeman’s (born 1981) 2019 solo exhibition of her abstractions at Karma with an essay by Lauren O’Neill-Butler, who writes that Freeman’s “works offer an alternative, an option to opt-out of signifying monolithically.”
Here, New York–based painter Marley Freeman (born 1981) transforms the spreads of a reference book on El Greco into abstract paintings that cover text and image alike, and leaving half the book with only small traces of interventions.
