About
Jacqueline Humphries is an American contemporary artist known for her innovative approach to painting. Often blending abstraction with digital influences, her work explores themes of technology, media, and the materiality of paint.
The earliest work in this group – Untitled 1994 - is made of 16 panels, each working with similar elements as though cut up and rearranged, avoiding any compositional clichés the work is held together by the grid that creates it.
Humphries cut her teeth in New York in the 1980s and in her more than 40-year career has ridden the storms of paintings demise and resurrection. Her work is unique and iconoclastic, she challenges traditional boundaries, incorporating reflective surfaces and unconventional elements to create dynamic, immersive compositions that draw attention to how we handle images and language. Using masking, erasure and stencilling her work continues to scratch at the relevance of art as a medium for questioning the world.
