Deborah Zlotsky’s new paintings feature vibrant stripes within interlocking rectangles, where flatness and depth collide. Sharp turns, varied widths, and visual disruptions—blurred areas, odd angles, and trompe l’oeil strings—create a shifting, illusionistic space. Her work layers history and technique, evoking both timeless aesthetics and cultural symbolism, while marks of wear and accumulation reflect the passage of time and the interplay of past and present.
