Maria Santiago: Designing Through the Geometry
* This exhibition runs Jul. 27–Sep. 5, with a public reception on Sat., Aug. 1. * Designing through the Geometry comprises two series, Jupiter Background in Black and Time, by Argentinian artist Maria Santiago. Time is invisible. The Past-Present-Future is one with constant movement: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Time transforms into small movements or changes. Time is magic. The artist focuses on color and time, where everything is always moving and everything changes. However, the background is completely quiet, and the shapes are only inside the circle as time passes. This mixed-media show focuses on what it means to explore texture and bright colors against geometric shapes.
