About the Work
In the canvases for her series Sixteen Street—shown first at Wade Wilson Art in Houston and then at Lennon Weinberg in New York—Jill Moser deviates from her characteristic deep blue, instead employing the interaction of both vibrant and neutral tones in an exploration of structure and process in drawing and painting. She says, “All of my work comes out of drawing…This sets up the field between drawing and painting that I have been investigating ever since. What remains important in both is that the image is active in the process of describing itself.”
About the Artist
Jill Moser’s elegant paintings and prints are marked by frenetic bursts of line and color, which are punctuated by “pops” of linear movement and bold gestures. Regarding the relationship between structure and process in her work, the artist has said: “To work on a print is to strip down the constructive parts of an image, slowing down and revealing the performative aspects of its making. I’m intrigued by how the process records both the structure and the event and makes the process become visible. Hand in glove, the gesture in cahoots with the machine.”
