Arielle Zamora they/them (b.1990) is a Portland, Oregon-based painter and printmaker. Their painting practice features layers of paint and joint compound as an exploration of line and form. These mathematically-informed, hand-carved patterns contrast with softer elements like subtle color and chance imperfections in their ground to create unexpectedly tender ruminations on shape. They are intensely drawn to relationships between line and form, and they draw inspiration from architecture and its surroundings to help assign structure, repetition, and function to the two dimensional plane. Recently they have been paying more attention to how repetition and symmetry affect our feelings of belonging and safety within a world full of noise, loss, and uncertainty.
