About the exhibition:
From Abstract Expressionism to Neoplasticism, artists have used formal elements such as line, shape, and color to express universal truths and depict pure harmony. In Folding Space, six artists delve into a world of bold, vibrant colors, crisp lines, contrasting shapes, and geometric patterns to narrate stories of space and time. By stripping away extraneous elements and creating balance, the works in Folding Space reach into the viewer's subconscious, leaving a direct and lasting impact on human emotion and the psyche. Rhythm, repetition, and nature are key themes in Folding Space. Melinda Steffy draws directly from music, creating a visual language in her series Songs. Lynn Dunham blurs the lines between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, achieving an equilibrium of light and color. At the same time, Philip Hart achieves literal balance in his delicate mobiles, which explore the fragility and resilience of consciousness. Diane Marimow and Kurt Herrmann find inspiration in nature—Herrmann in his Color Bombs series and Marimow in her organic clay sculptures and wall reliefs. Through reduction, they find universality and timelessness. Similarly, Scott Troxel’s pieces represent the passage of time—past, present, and future—through the interplay of organic and inorganic mediums.
Whether exploring the nature of the universe, capturing narratives through color and form, or highlighting the connections between physical environments and intangible experiences, Folding Space invites the viewer on a journey through the emotional power of color.
