Kristin Petrillo is a painter captivated by the fleeting effects of light and shadow and their power to alter mood. Her recent work transforms industrial architecture and deserted urban landscapes from mundane to evocative through color manipulation and streamlined forms. She explores urban environments on foot, taking photographs which she then digitally alters before translating them into acrylic paintings. Her bold, flat, and colorful style often departs significantly from reality, blending graphic elements with minimalist tendencies to evoke a lingering human presence.
