(SANTA MONICA, CA) — Nüart Gallery is pleased to present Geometric Dialogues, an exhibition featuring the latest works by Rose Masterpol + Connie Goldman. The exhibition will run from September 7th through October 5th, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, September 7th, from 4 - 6 pm.
Exhibition Overview:
Geometric Dialogues positions the works of Rose Masterpol + Connie Goldman in a nuanced conversation about the nature of abstraction. Masterpol’s organic, flowing compositions on linen contrast with Goldman’s precise, structured forms on shaped panels. This exhibition invites viewers to consider the varied ways in which geometry can express both the stability of form and the fluidity of emotion.
Rose Masterpol:
Rose Masterpol’s recent work engages with the fluidity of form and color, exploring how abstract shapes interact within a defined yet dynamic space. Her compositions, rendered on the raw texture of linen, are studies in contrast and balance, where layered forms articulate a tension between movement and stasis. The subdued palette, juxtaposed with moments of bold color, reflects an ongoing inquiry into the emotional resonance of abstraction through the lens of contemporary sensibilities. Masterpol’s approach to abstraction is rooted in a deep understanding of visual language, one that eschews ornamentation in favor of essential, resonant forms.
Connie Goldman:
Connie Goldman’s works, meticulously crafted on shaped panels, investigate the structural integrity of geometric forms in abstraction. Her use of space and form is both rigorous and intuitive, resulting in works that are as much about the physicality of the object as they are about the relationships between the shapes within. The carefully constructed panels serve not only as canvases but also as integral components of the work, embodying the tension between the desire for order and the inevitability of change. Goldman’s minimalist vocabulary draws upon principles of architecture and design, yet it transcends functionalism to engage with more abstract concepts of balance, rhythm, and relational dynamics.
