Carrie Moyer consciously centres her painting as a practice about
painting, with history as a subtext. Known for her incursions into
Colour Field painting, Moyer also traces her influences to iconic
female artists of the twentieth century, such as Georgia O Keeffe,
and surrounding questions of taste, once quipping of her paintings
that [Helen] Frankenthaler and [Fernand] Leger met in a dark corner
and had Elizabeth Murray. Moyer s complex work merges abstract
aesthetics and legible imagery: vividly coloured and textured forms
are embedded with a range of historical, stylistic, and physical
references to Surrealism, Modernism, 1960s and 70s counterculture
graphics, and 70s feminist art. Moyer often works on the floor,
pouring, rolling, stippling, mopping the paint, and embellishing
with glitter. An exploration of acrylic s unique properties is a
driving force in her work. Beginning as an intern at HERESIES, the
pioneering feminist art magazine, Moyer has also engaged in
critical practices beyond the studio. This monograph enriches a
deep dive into Moyer s painting practice, in particular her work of
the past decade, with a portfolio of the artist s agitprop from the
1990s, including Dyke Action Machine! (DAM!), one of the first
lesbian public art projects.
