In her painting, American artist Amy Sillman expands the standards of abstraction using material and conceptual interventions in the painting process. She destabilises purported dichotomies and hierarchisations between figuration and abstraction, intimacy and clumsiness, ability and self-negation, process and completion. This publication highlights her critical exploration of the history of painting and conveys her complex and sophisticated painterly practice on canvas and beyond.

Now the serial drawings and paintings are multicoloured, now monochrome, now they show complex forms, now figures or body parts. And they are always filled with delight in the process. This inspiringly designed book provides broad insights into Sillman’s approach to painting as a time-based medium, presenting in detail around 30 paintings and 300 works on paper, several digital animations and site-specific installations, all of which were created in the last 15 years
