Passing Through the Opposite of What It Approaches, Chapter 25
2012
Oil, tempera and gesso on wood
152.4 x 94.1 cm (60 x 37 1/16 in.)
A narrow, stepped construction’s silhouette runs up the full height of the canvas in Passing Through the Opposite of What it Approaches, Chapter 25. It stands out against a white background of interlocking geometric shapes.
This work by Rebecca H. Quaytman combines the figurative subject’s photographic realism with the silkscreen process. It belongs to a larger, eponymously titled series she considers a "chapter" that is both autonomous and interdependent with the other series she designs. Her "thought images", as she calls them, are like fragments of a larger whole, linked by formal, narrative, poetic, metaphorical relationships.
Passing Through the Opposite of What it Approaches, Chapter 25 was first presented by the Pinault Collection at the 2019 "Luogo e Segni" ("Place and Signs") show at the Punta della Dogana in Venice.
