R.H. Quaytman

Exhibition Guide, Chapter 15 [Jagged Edge Painting In Model]

A striking interplay of geometric precision and layered technique defines this work, where oil paint and silkscreen printing converge on a gessoed wood panel. Quaytman's signature engagement with the history and conditions of painting is evident in the work's self-referential quality, as the image of a painting within a model space collapses the boundary between representation and the object itself. The jagged edge motif introduces a tension between the rigid support and a fractured, dynamic visual language that challenges the viewer's perception of pictorial space.
