R. H. Quaytman

I was introduced to the work of this artist through an article in American art,by J. Harris. Critical perspectives on contemporary painting. Quaytman creates a visual novel by dividing her work into chapters,in her work the artist investigates dept and surface in conjunction with intellectual experiences of past and present to create a very personal pictorial language. The artist goes to a specific location and investigates this location from a cultural and historical perspective. Each chapter is depicted through different painting styles and media eg silk screen,architecture. The artist creates a systematic narrative with reoccurring themes.
