Plaid About Yew presents a densely layered field of interlocking bodies, rendered in Christina Quarles's signature vocabulary of fluid, ribbon-like limbs that resist easy resolution into singular figures. Painted in acrylic on canvas in 2018, the work deploys a warm, patterned ground against which flesh-toned forms fold, overlap, and dissolve, refusing the viewer a stable sense of where one body ends and another begins. The plaid of the title is more than visual texture, it operates as a conceptual scaffold, imposing an ordered geometric logic onto forms that are fundamentally resistant to categorization and containment. Quarles, who is based in Los Angeles and has achieved rapid critical recognition across major international institutions, develops a practice rooted in her experience of mixed-race and queer identity, though her canvases resist any reductive biographical reading. Instead, the works function as phenomenological investigations into embodiment itself, asking how identity is felt from within rather than read from without. The loose, almost automatic quality of the painted lines in Plaid About Yew conveys a sense of bodies in perpetual negotiation with their own boundaries, caught between presence and dissolution. At 127 by 101.6 centimetres, the canvas occupies a scale that draws viewers into an intimate proximity with its surface, rewarding close attention to the layering of marks and the subtle modulation of color across the composition. Works from Quarles's 2018 period are now held in prominent institutional and private collections globally, and this painting represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a work that sits at the heart of one of the most significant bodies of painting to emerge in recent years.
