Over the last three decades, Jacqueline Humphries (b.1960) has, through an innovative painterly process, challenged the limits of abstraction. She has produced a body of work that reaches beyond modernism, Abstract Expressionism, and abstraction as we know it.
Multi-layered in application, Humphries challenges the viewer to interact with her painting in diverse ways, inviting new approaches to looking and being with a work. Expertly analysing the ways in which Humphries has challenged convention and placed abstract painting at the centre of our twenty-first century visual environment, Frances Guerin's illuminating text reveals an artist at the peak of her powers.

'Jacqueline Humphries is one of the most significant painters of the 21st century. Frances Guerin’s brilliant text illuminates how her paintings fuse gesture with geometry to absorb the grit of urbanity and the glow of the digital within a transcendent abstraction.' – Iwona Blazwick
