Themes and
style:
She is best known for her abstract
canvases. Jacqueline Humphries has
created a body of work that stands as a quiet parenthetical to formalist
American abstraction. Often creating muted paintings in shades of grey, silver,
or black, Humphries’s paintings rely on the simple gesture of a line or the
soft imprint of her paintbrush to convey her intention. Creating paintings and
“non-paintings,” as she calls them, Humphries explores the possibility of
creating complexity through simple forms.
Techniques:
His work
is developed in paintings, mostly oil on canvas

In
her own words:
“I don’t think the artist can determine the meaning of
content. What I am trying to do is alter baseline conditions of viewing to
anticipate a new kind of viewing, to establish a site for “content” or
experience. In a way, the paintings resist meaning.”
