Since the 1980s, Jill Giegerich has been one of the most important artists of her generation in Southern California.  Her work intersects a line between geometry and representation, demonstrating interconnections between art, space and reality.  She orchestrates a tactile physicality while committed to complexity, ambiguity and the transitory nature of ideas.  Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, with exhibitions at the Whitney Museum, N.Y., San Francisco Museum of Art, the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art, Toyama, Japan.
 
Her large wall constructions imaginatively combine the forms and materials of drawing, printmaking and sculpture. There is a trompe l'oeil quality to her art that She defies being affiliated with any particular art ideology or stylistic language. She firmly resists being pinned down and is determined to remain unaligned as a person and as an artist. She has even expressed a desire that content, if any, remain oblique and enigmatic, freely floating in a space between resolution and the lack of it. Giegerich's work has been carefully orchestrated to retain a tactile physicality even as it remains philosophically detached–committed only to complexity, ambiguity and the transitory nature of ideas.
