Staying South by Logan Lockner

Art in America, November 17, 2021 10:53am.

Lockner’s article surveys a sample of artists based in the American South, Coulter Fussell, Katz Tepper, and Adler Guerrier.

This series of overlapping, sometimes contradictory impressions is perhaps best conveyed by Guerrier’s use of techniques such as solvent transfer and collage in works on paper that create ghostly, overlapping black-and-white images of both natural and urban landscapes, often punctuated by cascading geometric shapes or intricate compositions. These works temper representation with more opaque visual poetics, creating images of a place that feel both familiar and far away.
