Significant Geometries

September 12 - October 13, 2024

 

Significant Geometries is an exhibition of artworks that utilize geometric shape to convey meaning in sculpture, painting, collage, and photography. The exhibiting artists are Helena Chastel, Paul D’Agostino, Will Holub, Seth David Rubin, Conny Goelz Schmitt, and Ellen Weider.

 

Conny Goelz Schmitt alludes to storytelling and knowledge in her ingenious sculptures created from vintage book parts. Ellen Weider’s paintings, distinctive in their mysterious arrangements of shape and color, suggest rarefied worlds and invite interpretation. Photographic works by Seth David Rubin transform landscape and explore points of view through arrangements of shaped reflections. Paul D’Agostino’s “Chromatic Alphabet” paintings consider language, text, narrative, and translation through precise arrangements of color and shape. Layered mixed media collages by Will Holub combine figural and abstract elements to discover interconnectedness amidst fragmentation and diversity. Sculptures by Helena Chastel are weighty or whimsical investigations of sacred geometry. Images: Conny Goelz Schmidt (top) and Seth David Rubin.
