Ambiguity Painting

dianne k. webb is best known for her color rich conceptual paintings that translate her current ideas, inspirations, and wonderings into abstract visual elements. Large works in oil and mixed media on canvas as well as works on paper, and sculptures, often combine figurative with non-figurative elements to express the ideas of transformation; love and the struggles of relationship; the deconstruction of social constructs; death and dying; and aspects of an individual’s ever morphing identity. She is inspired by the natural world, poetry, watching people, and philosophies. Webb has exhibited throughout the U.S. and in Canada in various solo and group shows including Houston’s Art Crawl, Lesley University, Cambridge; M Squared Gallery, Houston; The Foundry, Houston; Archway Gallery, Houston; Art Car Museum, Houston; Parallax Art Fair, NYC; and the Shoe Factory in Rochester, NY. Born in Maine, Webb is the middle generation of three generations of visual, literary, healing and performing artists. Webb, artistic director of Next Iteration Theater Company, curates art exhibitions in thematic coordination with theater events. She holds a BA and an MFA from Lesley University. Dianne K. Webb has made her home and art for the last thirteen years in Houston, Texas.
