Neuroplastic is a series of visionary paintings, drawings, metal prints, and animations by Austin based artist Zoe Shulman that employ geometric abstraction to explore the intersections between psychotherapy, psychedelic medicine, and art therapy. While undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy and clinical Ketamine treatments, the artist created these idiosyncratic artworks as transformational stepping stones on her personal healing journey through PTSD and depression. Throughout this body of work, special hallucinatory shapes the artist calls “Ketagons” integrate ineffable thoughts and feelings into a complex visual language of soft value gradients, crystalline glazes, colorfully woven lines, fiery paint pours, rhythmic patterns, and labyrinthine illusions. Altogether, the artist’s unique language reveals her wisdom mind’s deepest existential affirmations, self-evident truths, and spiritual transcendences.

In the artist’s own words:

“My work employs painting, drawing, and digital mixed media to visualize geometries that subvert traditional painting canon. These geometries emerge from mapping the theoretical spaces described by post-structuralism, geography, complexity, psychology, psychedelics, feminism, politics, and cyber and queer culture.”

About the artist:

Zoë Shulman is a painter from Austin, Texas. In 2013, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Art in Painting and Drawing from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. During her studies, she traveled abroad to Italy and Ireland, where she developed her artistic practice amidst rich European cultures.

Since graduation, Shulman has exhibited works at international venues, as well as local galleries, museums, and universities. Notable exhibitions include “The 2017 Biennial: Origins in Geometry” at the Museum of Geometric and MADI Art in Dallas, “The 2014 Minnesota Biennial” at the Minnesota Museum of American Art in St. Paul, and “The 20th Anniversary Alumni Exhibition” at the Burren College of Art in Ireland. Her work is also a part of the MADI Museum's permanent collection.

Additionally, Shulman has completed artist residencies at The Banff Centre and The Vermont Studio Center. Here in Austin, she is represented by Camiba Gallery, where she has had three major solo exhibitions: “Circuit Topology”, “The Allegory of Good and Bad Government”, and “Neuroplastic”. In March 2022, she will begin pursuing a Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling at Southwestern College and New Earth Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
