Xylor Jane (b. 1964, Long Beach, CA) makes rainbow-hued, systems-based paintings that are homages to the intangible and mystical pleasures of numbers. In highly detailed and minute applications of pigment, Jane visualizes numerals that are uniquely symmetrical or rare such as primes, magic squares, and golden ratios. Knowing that her soft spot for integers is not shared by all, Jane seeks to present them in novel formats, allowing viewers to have new experiences with mathematical sequences. 

 

In all her works, Jane invites us to admire and meditate on the engrossing power and beauty of numbers. Jane attended the now-closed San Francisco Art Institute in the early 1990s. Her work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at Konrad Fischer, Berlin; the University Museum of Contemporary Art, Amherst, MA; Santa Monica Museum of Art, Santa Monica, CA; CANADA, New York, NY; Parrasch Heijnen, Los Angeles, CA; Campoli Presti, Paris; and Almine Rech, Paris, among others. Xylor Jane is represented by CANADA, New York; Parrasch Heijnen, Los Angeles; and Konrad Fischer, Berlin. Xylor Jane lives and works in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
