Liza Lacroix. One. Two. Three. [...] Twenty-Six

A new artist's book by Liza Lacroix gathering 23 recent paintings, all reproduced here for the first time. Printed on diaphanous paper, Lacroix's umber tones seem both on and below the surface. Each painting is dissected with multiple, aggressive crops, a thrum of repetition that becomes a kind of vivisection: the half-forensic and half-obsessional gaze that we reserve for the devotional and the departed.
