Pattern, Form and Figure

Pattern, Form and Figure is a group show that delights in the joy of unconformity and the energy of patterning and color.   

The exhibtion features two- and three-dimensional work from regional and national artists exploring figuration through varying systems, mechanisms, and media. The included artists play with expressions of reinvention and experimentation through diverse materials, forms, and patterning. The works range from wild and quirky, charming and playful, maximalist and sweetly subdued. Color and freedom of expression rule the day.

Featured artists include Sophia Allison, Debra Broz, Marcus Cain, Johanna Goodman,  Robert Hardgrave, Jon Huck, Melissa Kagerer, Melissa Manfull, and Kim Tucker.

In the Niche Market Storefront we have ceramics by Tammy Smith and tufted yarn works by Trisha Gilmore.
