From building blocks to urban plans, geometric shapes permeate our lives in every way. Distinctions between what defines a square, a rhombus, or a diamond fade away as colors and patterns take the spotlight. Artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Kate Shepherd transform the familiar and the tangible into the conceptual and the elusive, while Clare Rojas's Untitled 3 and Mark Di Suvero's Roebling's Arch manipulate architecture to break and build visual associations. The layers, distortions, and contorted planes in these works introduce new ways of interpreting line and shape. From Ana Dias Batista's chalk-arranged Ploc to Robert Mangold's fragmented and tailored ovals, there is something to pique everyone's visual and mental appetite in this collection.
