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.
