88 www.incollect.com Arielle Zamora Kathryn Markel Fine Arts Arielle Zamora’s Six And Six, 2022 is painted in oil paint, joint compound, and cold wax on panel. It is a wonderfully pleasing composition using a limited black and white palette to create a contrast between foreground and background, positive and negative shapes. The unusual use of joint compound as a ground gives the work a soft, porous quality and lends texture in the form of residual blemishes and bubbles, counterbalancing the precise geometry of the grid-like repeated shapes. “Arielle Zamora’s works explore the tension between a geometric perfection and the unexpected imperfections inherent in a handmade process,” says Kathryn Markel from Kathryn Markel Fine Arts. “The symmetrical curved shapes that compose the paintings are based on rigorous geometry and reflect Zamora’s love of clean lines, order, and the predictability of the grid.” Arielle Zamora (b. 1990) Six And Six, 2022 Oil paint, joint compound, cold wax on panel 40 x 30 inches Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, New York, New York Available through Incollect.com
