Jillian Solotes

Jillian Solotes’ work alludes to feelings of longing and memory. Subdued in a warm cast and often monochromatic in palette, her paintings and drawings echo that of black and white films. Employing oil paint and graphite, her subjects live in an atmospheric air of mystery where darkness reveals itself in casted shadows. Solotes seeks simplification—backgrounds remain void, situating the viewer’s gaze on her timeless subject matter often representing mundane objects or statuesque figures in poetic stillness.
