Acrylic, spray paint, gouache, and oil stick on panel

Allie Stabile paints abstractions of her environment. Layers of bright  acrylic paint are built up, scraped, and sanded down. Sharp edged  lines create buildings and pathways that border textured, spray painted  surfaces, suggesting the appearance of a city landscape. Oil stick  grids, scribbles, and gestures pass over coarse and smooth surfaces,  seeking solution within defined areas. Her work yields insinuations of  the body, moments of flux, and discovers unexpected results through  material experimentation.  

Her work realizes the “awakening,” of a new normal, and how the  pandemic has altered the ways in which we communicate and navigate  space. Prison-like structures speak to feelings of confinement and  anxiety, while erratic gestures suggest the need for liberation. Breaking  prisms as norms speaks to her sexuality, but also to how we are dealing  with the challenges of COVID-19. Interior spaces have become places  of remote connection. Coping with these conditions has “awakened”  how our interactions are not limited by physical structures.
