Drawing inspiration from architecture, Arielle Zamora’s paintings are subtle, yet moving explorations of line and form. Zamora creates her work with complex layers of joint compound and paint, hand carving patterns into the resulting surface. Delicate shapes and structures emerge from the varying shifts in line and color. Small Sights & Sand Bar, 2023, presented here as a diptych, examines the rhythms of contrast and repetition in a focused palette.
