Allison Gildersleeve

Allison Gildersleeve is an American painter based in New York City whose work engages with abstraction through a nuanced exploration of color, light, and spatial relationships. Her paintings are characterized by layered gestural marks, luminous fields of color, and a tension between flatness and depth that invites sustained looking. Gildersleeve's practice draws on the legacy of Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting while maintaining a distinctly contemporary sensibility, often working on both canvas and paper to investigate the boundaries between drawing and painting.
