Abstract oil paintings by Arielle Zamora.
"My Blue Friend" features new contemporary abstract oil paintings by Arielle Zamora, exploring the untimely loss of a close friend.
Zamora’s practice is characterized by their attention to interactions between line and form, achieving this through a combination of paint and joint compound on panel. They do a lot of sanding to make the surface smooth and then tint the joint compound with oil paints to give it color or carve into it.
Through this, the two-dimensional plane begins to project a dynamic impression. The artist’s thoughtful mediation between form and materiality produces an immersive plane. Indeed, Zamora’s works are alluringly dimensional, willing their viewer to exercise presence.
