Minimalist Mixed-Media Paintings Exploring Time, Identity, and Memory.

Black-and-white paintings by NYC–based artist Aislinn Janek, created through dyeing, sewing, acrylic, ink, and batik processes. Rooted in routine and repetition, the work reflects on how meaning accumulates over time.

Aislinn Janek is a visual artist based in Astoria, New York, whose work investigates the quiet tension between structure and impermanence. Working primarily in black and white, Janek creates minimalist paintings and mixed-media works using acrylic paint, hand-dyed fabrics, sewing, ink, and batik techniques.

Her practice is informed by daily rituals, systems of care, and the way identity is shaped through repetition. Through restrained palettes and tactile surfaces, the work invites close looking and sustained attention.
