Sabrina Piersol (b. 1995, Greenwich, CT) is a Colorado-based painter exploring the intersection of abstraction and representation. Her work is deeply informed by early 20th-century American painting traditions, as well as the fragmented structure of the Classical Greek poetry of Sappho. Piersol balances abstract forms with explicit references to nature, maintaining accessibility while pushing the boundaries of perception. Her paintings explore themes of desire, temporality, fluidity, and speculative extrapolation. Each piece invites viewers to envision alternate pasts and possible futures, creating spaces for reflection and transformation.

Piersol received her BA from Colorado College and her MFA from the University of California, San Diego. Select solo exhibitions include Sow & Tailor, Los Angeles, CA; Edge Art Space, Turin, IT; and the University of California, San Diego.

The artist’s thematic image-making is broadly characterized by an interest in the home decor market, the mass commodification of art, and the generic visual language that accompanies commercial design. His paintings explore the relationship between physical spaces and the objects we fill them with. Often alluding to typical domestic decor and household ornaments, his canvases make these inherently empty objects into simplified symbols and patterns that can then be rearranged and compressed to carry a formal sensibility. The “Produce(d) Paintings” series serves as an historic exemplar of still-life painting that is as old as the medium itself.

Currently, D’Onofrio addresses the idea of painting as ornament, incorporating stock subjects of landscape, still life, and portraiture becoming knickknacks into his lexicon. The painter distills, consolidates, and appropriates the overwhelming amount of generic design aesthetic in the commercial decor market. Rather than fight the inherent kitschiness of this visual language, he embraces the imagery so his canvases can, in turn, become a critique of the subject it represents.

Rachel Hellmann employs rare bioluminescent colors found in the natural world with the exactitude of architectural forms in her sculptures. Paintings on paper directly correlate to the sculptures, stretching Hellmann’s examination of color into the tangible. These studies on paper deceive dimensions in the absence of physical depth. Using poplar wood and MDF, the artist bends individual segments into architectural forms, which she then joins with adhesives. Following her highly intuitive process, Hellmann paints “shapes of color.” Floating with a luminescent halo, the sculptures fold away from the wall. Contrasting hues exhibit subtle illusions of indiscernible depth.
