Grooming Hair (2019) presents two interlocking panels of acrylic on aluminum mesh, a signature support that Summer Wheat has made distinctly her own. Figures lean into one another in an act of tender, rhythmic care, their forms built up through Wheat's characteristic push-and-pull technique of pressing paint through the open weave of the mesh from behind, allowing color to bloom and accumulate on the surface in raised, pixelated clusters. The result is a work that hovers between painting and relief, intimacy and monument, its warm palette carrying the unhurried quality of a ritual passed between generations. At 172.7 × 238.8 cm, the diptych commands physical presence while remaining rooted in the domestic and the interpersonal. Wheat draws on a range of visual sources, from ancient friezes and medieval tapestries to folk craft and feminist body politics, weaving these references into compositions that feel at once archaic and urgently contemporary. The act of grooming hair, communal and time-honored across virtually every culture, becomes here a meditation on reciprocity, trust, and the quiet labor of care that structures human bonds. Wheat has exhibited widely at major institutional and commercial venues, and her mesh-based works are among the most critically discussed paintings to emerge from the last decade of American art. Grooming Hair is signed and offered through Harper's, presented unframed, allowing collectors the opportunity to approach the work on its own material terms. The exposed mesh edge and layered paint surface reward close inspection and confirm the technical ambition that distinguishes Wheat's practice within the contemporary landscape.
