Allie Stabile is a Brooklyn-based artist who paints how space is constructed using materials that reflect her environment. Mediums such as sand, newspaper, and shredded tire rubber are thickly applied to the canvas to form abrupt divisions and pathways between brightly painted quadrants of space. She uses tape to create sharp-edged lines that when removed reveal previous layers of spray paint and acrylic pours. Naively drawn, crooked grids in tandem with oil stick gestures displace established structures to show how the individual can come into conflict with fixed frameworks. Stabile uses the grid as a tool in her work to demonstrate how material resources affect the social development and construction of a landscape.
Allie Stabile is originally from Carlisle, PA. She received her BA in Philosophy from Salve Regina University in Newport, RI in 2014, and her MFA in Painting and Drawing from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY in 2020. Since moving to New York, she has completed artist residencies, such as COPE NYC (Creating Opportunities Promoting Equality), and has exhibited work with treat gallery new york, Pratt Manhattan Gallery, Super Dutchess Gallery, and The SHIM Art Network. Stabile was selected for Saatchi Art’s 2020 “Rising Stars 35 Under 35,” and “The SHIM/ Masters Show,” with Artsy.net.
