In Line On View at Artspace 304 |
| Visit Artspace 304 to view In Line, an exhibition showcasing artists with the common thread of "line" running through their works. The 2D compositional element of line can be rigid, fluid, textural, create movement, and convey emotion. Exhibiting artists are Najjar Abdul-Musawwir, Harris Deller, Stephanie Dukat, Rachel Malcolm Ensor, Marcuss Hall, Heather M. O’Brien-Takahashi, and Madeline Stiemle. The compositional element of line is shared among all art media, from pen and ink to oil paint to screen printing to carved and incised ceramics. The medium and way of mark-making varies with each artist, but their use of line also connects them to each other. In Line is on view until September 29. |
