In this painting, the artist uses a car crash image as a metaphor for contemporary American society’s latent violence. The closely-cropped image, revealed from within a field of vivid color, explores how subtexts like toxic rage, careless abandon, and other societal ills have occupied painting over its long history.
Meredith Sellers’ painting “Crash (Yellow)” (2022) has been featured in the March guest curation for David Zwirner’s Platform by Graham Wilson from Swivel Gallery.
