Xylor Jane

Xylor Jane (born 1963) is an American artist whose paintings "integrate mathematics, color, and time."[1][2] Jane's color is rarely brushed, and rather is applied "in single, unmodulated dots, sometimes as tiny as a millimeter in diameter." Jane has worked extensively with prime numbers and the Fibonacci sequence.[3]

She is also known to be highly influenced by the weather, working "according to weather conditions, revisiting one painting, for instance, only on overcast days, and another when it's sunny out: hence, some works take years to produce."[3]

Jane's painting was featured in the Bay Area Now show at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2005.[4] Other Bay Area institutions where she has had solo or two-person shows include the Jack Hanley Gallery,[5] Gallery 16,[6] the LAB,[7] and the Luggage Store Gallery. Jane had a 2010 solo show at Almine Rech in Paris, France and a 2005 solo show at Four Gallery in Dublin, Ireland.[8]

Xylor Jane is based in Greenfield, Massachusetts and is represented by CANADA Gallery[9] in New York City where she has had six solo exhibitions (2005, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2016).[9] Jane received a BFA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1993.[10]
