Lauren Quin: Eyelets of Alkaline

“You feel the energy of depth and explosion, you feel an intensity of time layered, you feel color, you sense ambiguity and depth.” — Ariana Reines 

Published to coincide with the exhibition Eyelets of Alkaline at Pace in Los Angeles, this catalogue focuses on Quin's latest body of work, in which she has turned from an “overdose” of chromatic intensity toward what she describes as a “detox of color.” Though these paintings may at first appear monochromatic, they encapsulate varied tonal fields of blacks and greys, haloed by bleachfields of fugitive color. Alongside vivid illustrations and foldout pages, Lauren Quin: Eyelets of Alkaline also includes a new text by the poet, playwright, and essayist Ariana Reines.
