Peyton's new work unveils a holy world of cultural luminaries

Elizabeth Peyton's art is one of glances and gestures that become indistinguishable from her in the moment she paints them. The works are an expression of specificity, but also of Peyton's extraordinary ability to identify with her subjects.There is a feeling that becomes cumulative in her art, unadulterated and almost destabilizing, built up through the many brush marks that characterize her surfaces. Through the depth of these images, constructed one stroke at a time, the emotional substrate of our reality is revealed. --Lucas Zwirner, The Profession of the Painter, in Angel

Angel, Peyton's debut monograph from David Zwirner Books, explores the artist's extraordinary ability to identify with her subject matter, from Ang in the Mountains and Mani Rimdu to the subjects of Elvis Angel (Elvis' Eyes) and Titanic (Jack & Rose). These are paintings that dwell in the permeability of light and space, reveling in what Petyon calls painting and art as a space to capture energy that can take you someplace else.

Published on the occasion of her exhibition Angel at David Zwirner London in 2023, this volume includes full color plates of eighteen new works, Peyton's own photographs connected by the feeling of love, faith, and nature moving through all of them, and a text by Lucas Zwirner.
