Transection
Immediately recognizable, Ilana Zweschi’s abstract paintings derive from her use of handwritten algorithms to determine precise arrangements of brush strokes and complex color gradations. Influenced by her studies in math as well as art, she began as a figure painter before realizing that her interest in logic could be incorporated into painting. While the paintings begin with formal elements that collaborate with an algorithm, underlying figurative drawings give the algorithm something organic to build on.
Transection is on view at The Gallery at Kerry Hall until August 2026 as part of TEMPO/TEMPUS: rhythm and time in visual art, an exhibition curated by Gayle Clemans.
