Description
Dallas-based painter Marcelyn McNeil creates large-scale oil abstractions with brightly coloured forms that drip, bleed and fade into one another. Her recent paintings and site-specific installation works celebrate the power of colour and simple gestures. Inspired by artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, McNeil introduces a lyricism into her work with soft stains and blots of pigment, resisting traditional notions of abstract painting in favour of a more dynamic relationship to the canvas. This volume explores the full breadth of McNeil's exciting artist's oeuvre, introducing new ways to consider and experience contemporary abstract painting. With an accompanying interview and essay, this book provides a framework for engaging with McNeil's quietly subversive work, offering a unique insight into her creative practice.
