Ava Bock is an American abstract artist working across surface, relief, and object. Her practice is rooted in material restraint, repetition, and the relationship between organic systems and constructed environments.

Working with bio-resins, inks, recycled polyester, and cast polymers, Bock develops work through slow, layered processes that emphasize accumulation, containment, and material presence. The work is designed to exist quietly within a space, allowing form, texture, and light to shape perception over time.

This approach unfolds across several discrete bodies of work, each examining how surface, depth, and containment operate at different scales.

Her visual language is structured around a limited set of forms, most notably the circle and the square. Within her practice, these forms function as fixed structural elements rather than open symbols, guiding how life, memory, and space are translated into physical form across media.

Bock’s work is informed by lived experience across distinct architectural and geographic contexts, including Kings County, New York, North Carolina, and the Pacific Northwest. These environments influence the color systems, surface qualities, and spatial logic present throughout her work.
