An improbable blend of irony, paradox, irreverence, and earnest philosophical inquiry underlies the work of Deborah Remington, who spent the first part of her career in California before moving to New York in 1965. Her formative years as a key figure in San Francisco’s avant-garde during the 1950s were crucial to developing the ideology that would sustain her for a lifetime. Remington began as an abstract expressionist under the tutelage of Hassel Smith, producing whimsical paintings that mocked the emotional excesses and high-own rhetoric of the New York School. She also played a central role in San Francisco’s artist-and-poet-run cooperatives of the beat era, and was a cofounder of the Six Gallery, the most influential venue for the city’s artistic underground. It was beat poet Gary Snyder who piqued Remington’s interest in Asian art and philosophy, leading her to Japan, where she studied classical and contemporary calligraphy.
