(b 1976South Africa. )
Selma Parlour's meticulous oil paintings appear as though they're drawn, dyed, or printed. Alongside her delicately shaded bands and pencil-thin (oil-made) lines, colour is a veil imitating the backlit quality of the screen, and ensuring that every decision is evident. Parlour's known for her units of luminous colour, diagrammatic space, haptic surfaces, and her abstract-paintings-of-photography's-installation-shot-of-abstract-painting.
