“Sometimes Ligon’s studio is filled with white canvases. One can imagine him being a stranger in that peculiarly white landscape – a landscape he gets to remake in his image, a landscape where white turns to black filled with layer after layer of philosophical and emotional investigation.”
Hilton Als, “Strangers in the Village,” in Exh. Cat., New York, Whitney Museum of American Art, Glenn Ligon: AMERICA, 2011, p. 211
