For the past thirty years, Jonathan Lasker has been committed to producing bold and enigmatic abstract paintings. His most recent show at Timothy Taylor Gallery in London, which he discusses here, presented a gathering of his works from the 1980s. The show was on view in December of 2011.
“Looking over the works in the show, I found myself reflecting on who I was both as a person and as a painter between 1983 and 1992 and also thinking about what the surrounding context was like when I made them. Trying to assess that period of time gives me an unsettling feeling of reinhabiting my own past self, as well as the historical past.”
