Christina Quarles seeks out environments, planes, and patterns that can situate the figure in different ways, exploring oscillations between internal and external, nature and artifice. Entangled arms and legs and heaps of hands and feet both frame and animate the canvases; limbs grasp, gesture to, and interact with one another, connected to the same or multiple figures. People appear in motion - reaching to touch one another or themselves, bending or flattened beneath the weight of other bodies or the impression left by their own. The intimacy in her paintings is not always fixed or based on interactions with multiple people; sometimes it’s an intimacy or interaction with the self, or a memory or idea of the self.
