Laura Owens oeuvre is recognized for an enduring exploration of painting itself, in which she continuously tests the parameters of the medium; often using experimental techniques while drawing on her own personal biography. This work features a delimited composition of horizontal bands rendered in varying shades of white indicating shadows, punctuated across its center by minimal figurative details. Bordering between abstraction and figuration, the work simultaneously signals the rich history of Abstraction in American modern art and the white wood cladding of housing commonly found in suburban neighborhoods around the country.
