Outcome, 2007, oil paint on panel, 40 x 38"

“Diane Ayott uses marks and stamps in patterns over the entire picture plane to create eccentric, slightly skewed compositions that radiate a fierce energy. Layers of riotous color form what she says is an “accumulation of thought” and create strong spatial depth. Because the marks she makes are so thick, they create a physicality that further enhances the sense of being lost in color space. The meditative, sensual pleasure Ayott has in making these is palpable.”
