"As Wool has gradually pulled away from language, he has moved ever closer to paintings that slip further and further into the void. There is a real menace that comes with the fog and the rot and the glimpses of graffiti hanging in the air like satanic versions of the Northern Lights." (Richard Flood, Parkett No. 83, 2008)

Making a name in the New York art scene in the early 1980s, Christopher Wool is best known for his word paintings, white canvases with black stencilled letters. By incorporating media and techniques including photography, silkscreen, reproduction, overpainting and erasing, Wool's work often combines human and machine marks, as in his paintings in which he smudges black lines drawn with a spray gun into gray fields.
