  • “Glaessner’s vaporous figuration and dreamy backgrounds can recall such symbolists as Edvard Munch and Odilon Redon, but her color is bolder. She deploys a singular alchemy of high-key stains and pours, overlaid with rich oil paint, to achieve a hazy deep space and smoothly modelled volumes. Conventional notions of gender, sexuality, reproduction, and species are deliriously suspended in the lush amphibious drama.”
    — Johanna Fateman
