"Quin's paintings roil with the frenetic energy of many lines in motion, each moving with a different weight and at a different speed; the finished compositions hum with the radiant electricity of a neon sign" -Cultured

The paintings of Los Angeles- and San Francisco-based artist Lauren Quin (born 1992) have mesmerized audiences with their electric colors and pulsating lines. Her compositions contain an intricate language of overlapping shapes (most recently, Legeresque tubes), engendering a dizzying multitude of compositional center points. Each painting features motifs-spider, needle, sun-which she then transfers onto the canvas through a monoprint technique. This is the first comprehensive monograph on Quin, accompanying her solo show at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. Featuring a foreword by Nerman director JoAnne Northrup, essays by art historian Fanny Singer and artist and writer Juliana Halpert, and an interview with the artist by curator Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer, My Hellmouth also provides insight into Quin's artistic process.
