About

Hillel Selznick is an American artist, born in New York, who specializes in abstract paintings composed of brushy layers of alternating colored squares or stripes.

In his 30-year career, Hillel Selznick has created an influential body of work that covers a wide range of styles and character in contemporary abstraction. His works combine European painting with the distinct character of American abstraction to create a new style that has marked the development of contemporary abstract art. Often structured around stripes or layered blocks of color arranged on horizontal and vertical axes, layers in Selznick's paintings achieve a fine balance between calm reflection and an innate vitality.

Selznick is an artist who creates forcefully compelling spaces and his art is defined by acute concentration and care, involving constant negotiation between the monumental and the intimate. His art is commanded by the idea of humanity’s betterment at its heart.
