About ‘Mary Heilmann: Waves, Roads & Hallucinations’
New York based artist Mary Heilmann is one of the most influential American abstract painters of her time. Heilmann's work has been exhibited throughout the world in museums such as Dia Art Foundation, Orange County Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Whitechapel Gallery. This documentary offers a visually immersive journey through the artist’s life, using rare archival material and in-studio footage to explore her mind and practice.

About Mary Heilmann
Raised in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Heilmann completed a degree in literature, before she studied ceramics at Berkeley. Coming out of 1960s counterculture, the free speech movement, and the surf ethos of her native California, Mary Heilmann went on to become among the most influential abstract painters of her generation. Although her work is non-representational and based on an elementary, geometrical vocabulary—circles, squares, grids, and stripes—the simplicity of the forms is complicated by a painterly nonchalance.
