About

Why this artist matters now

Jessica Diamond works in wall drawing and installation, using text and graphic mark-making to address anti-commercialism and social and sexual roles. Her work operates at the intersection of language and image, treating the wall as both support and subject. Diamond has been a consistent figure in American conceptual practice since the 1980s, with her direct, often sardonic visual statements resisting the decorative conventions of the spaces they occupy.
