Sidewalk Escalade Painting

Allie Stabile paints abstractions of her environment that suggest disturbance, tangents, and systematic divergence. Oil stick grids, sharp-edged pathways, and coarse textures create insinuations of architecture and allusions of the body. These constructions are then abruptly subverted by imposing gestures that seek solution within defined areas. Her work discovers new arrangements of space through opposing colors and repeated patterns, and implies how the body becomes a form of social infrastructure.
