EXHIBITIONS
Rhombus Space shows are built around curatorial concepts that bring together diverse artwork by innovative contemporary artists. Rhombus Space also celebrates the work of individual artists through solo exhibitions and projects.
REFLECTION: December 1 - February 28, 2022
REFLECTION Exhibition Statement
Featuring work by artists Laura Frantz, Barry Gerson, Katherine Keltner, Tom Kotik, Colin O’Con, Elisa Soliven, Albert Weaver, and Brian Wood. As the fourth and final installment of exhibitions in this series of quarterly online shows,
REFLECTION, is a winter show that offers us work that is contemplative and encourages a sense of thoughtful observation. There is a rich sense of wonder and dreaminess in these artworks. Reflection is manifested formally through shapes and composition using symmetry, mirroring and repeating forms; psycho-emotional painterly gestures and intuitive artistic working methods “feeling a painting” come into being; and in subtle color and light play combinations. Each artist in this exhibition offers an opportunity to transcend the moment that we're in, reflect on our past, and imagine distant otherworldly places and/or the nature of being.
