Description
Liat Yossifor’s first monograph focuses on a series of ever-evolving grey paintings from 2011–2016 that utilize a time-based process where she continuously scrapes, sculpts, and reworks the paint until it hardens. Of these works, she has said, “The grey is the result of color being consumed, of constant editing. The grey is the result of a thousand paintings that got destroyed in the process of making a single one.” The writers explore the archeology and embedded meaning of Yossifor’s work in light of place, person, gesture, and theory.

Revisiting the almost exclusively male history of abstraction, Yossifor injects non-objective painting with fresh lifeblood right when its proliferation (dubbed “zombie painting” by some critics) announces an aesthetic demise. – Susan Power, The Nomadic Journal
