Arielle Zamora & Sinziana Velicescu

Arielle Zamora (b.1990) is Portland Oregon-based painter and printmaker who creates paintings through a labor-intensive process of layering joint compound and paint. Reacting to the geometry of their substrate, Arielle carves a variety of lines into the surface to reveal subtle shifts in color and line weight, while repeating and manipulating shapes and forms that recur throughout all of their work. Chance imperfections humanize their abstractions and invite a scavenger hunt-like engagement with the work.

Sinziana Velicescu (b. 1989) is an artist and photographer based in Los Angeles, California. Her work explores the subtle tension between built and natural environments, often focusing on quiet, in-between spaces shaped by time. Appropriating architectural vocabulary, Velicescu disrupts everyday topography via careful composition to develop an elegant narrative to tell the story of place.
