Jill Moser

Studio Caparrelli, London

Paintings and works on paper

Studio Caparrelli is pleased to present an exhibition of recent works by New York artist Jill Moser, a selection of paintings and works on paper.

The works, executed with different media (including the casein and ink' on paper technique, which is characteristic of Moser's style), are linked by a common mood, partly suggested by their chromatic similarity that shapes the
surface through the many hues contained within the two poles of white and black.

Rather than recalling or hinting to definite shapes, in these works it's the line that imposes its presence, defining a sort of magnetic space within the borders of the pictorial surface. Inside this space, the line floats now
nervously, as organic matter or fluid ejected into another fluid, now softly, almost fighting not to dissolve back into the magma that generated it.

It is through a harmonious alliance between colour and sign that the works acquire not only their vibrant dynamism and three-dimensional appearance, but also a powerful narrative tension, often close to the sphere of eroticism.

The ambivalence of execution, with the continuous dialogue
between painting and drawing, colour and graphic (the gesture playing a leading role), determines the ambivalence of the generated forms, their narrative and the relationship between each other.

Hence, the choice of the diptych form, as an embodiment of this mutual
correspondence between sign and shape. Here, as the title Parings' suggests, the boundaries between the two halves are pushed and the images start engaging in a sort of 'whispered' conversation, like shapes looking at themselves in a mirror; a conversation that is at the same time ambiguous, unresolved and charged with erotic tension.

The show highlights the current focus of Moser¹s artistic research, which naturally follows a path marked by different, yet not completely definite, phases, and where the predominance of the line, and its power to evoke
beyond the factual reality, is constantly re-asserted.

Jill Moser's wok can be found in several important public collections across the US, such as the MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art and the National
Museum of American Art, Washington D.C., as well as in numerous private collections.
