In this painting, wildly looping lines and colorful forms seem to erupt from the pale yellow center of the composition. Echoing script, the shape of an eye, or a quickly passing daydream image, these painted marks manage to fuse into a united surface.

Ariel Dill paints abstractions that include visual occlusions, hiccups and whorls. Bleary shapes spread across her canvases, with moments of movement or focus implied as if her compositions could be entered psychically. Dill’s intuitive process leads with color and pulls from a vocabulary of forms the artist develops during automatic drawing sessions. Her paintings invite the viewer to explore her anthropomorphized imagery and revel in their slippery nature.
