This untitled work is a painting by Jill Moser. It’s composed of fluid lines and a soft grey wash, hinting at forms that feel both organic and architectural. The lines aren't rigid; they quiver and swell, showing you that Moser isn't afraid to let the paint do its thing. She surrenders to the process. Looking closely, the surface reveals a real mix of textures. In some areas, the paint is thin and transparent. In others, particularly where those white lines loop and cross, it's thicker, more assertive. These areas feel like they are catching the light. The way the lines trail off into delicate points, reminds me of Cy Twombly, but where Twombly feels historical, Moser feels contemporary. Ultimately, Moser's painting invites us to see the world in flux, where clarity and ambiguity dance together.
