\nBrenna Youngblood mines personal, collective and art histories to make paintings, sculptures, photographs and collages that are richly tactile and politically resonant. In Youngblood\u2019s paintings, which frequently reach six feet in height, abstract fields of color are repeatedly built up and stripped away so that the surfaces often appear worn and used, as if bleached by the sun or aged over a long period of time. Fragments of found materials are sometimes incorporated into her works, such as printed wallpapers, crumpled shopping bags, cigarette butts, or, in one work, a ragged tree-shaped car air freshener printed with the pattern of the American flag. \u201cI\u2019m thinking about how icons are very important in our culture,\u201d Youngblood says of her use of symbols such as the flag, or the face of George Washington from the dollar bill, as in 2013\u2019s \u201c3 dollar bill (dirty money)\u201d, a painting recently acquired by MOCA. In it, three copies of Washington\u2019s face, singed and licked by flames, float against a background loosely painted the color of a dollar bill that has gone through the washing machine.

\nYoungblood frequently describes her work in relation to the body. \u201cI want to put my hand in everything,\u201d she remarks of her accumulative process. The lightly wrinkled paper she frequently adheres to the surface of her paintings, \u201cfeels like human skin of an older person,\u201d she says, with pleasure. Youngblood\u2019s affinity with historical elders is clear in her work, which expands on the collage and assemblage practices of older generations of artists ranging from the Hannah H\u00f6ch and Kurt Schwitters to David Hammons and Robert Rauschenberg. The art historical resonances of her gestures tether them to the past in a way that allows the forcefulness of their presence to be all the more electric.
