SUMMARY:Vertex | Geometry of Edges @ OPUS 40
DESCRIPTION:Vertex | Geometry of Edges opens with a reception for the artis
 ts on Sunday\, June 28\, 2:00 - 4:00\, and runs through Sunday 2 August\, 
 2026\, at the Richards Gallery at Opus 40. Tickets can be purchased at the
  Opus 40 website.\nABOUT THE EXHIBITIONIn geometry\, a vertex is the meeti
 ng place of edges and the origin of the third dimension. The optical illus
 ion created by this junction convinces the viewer that what they see in fa
 ct\, exists. Because of this three-dimensional illusion\, the paintings of
  Ginnie Gardiner\, Whitney Hagen\, Susanna Ronner\, Lynne Tobin\, and Kati
  Vilim fool the eye with color\, form\, and line\, presenting a believable
  space that defies the flat surface on which they are painted. The sculpto
 rs\, Osi Audu and Alex Kveton\, contend with solid shapes and forms. Their
  art directly and deliberately challenges the intangible\, and their forms
  engage the invisible spaces carved out by their work. It is in the edges 
 of these compelling artworks\, the vertices where these painted and sculpt
 ed edges meet\, that the visual effects of space begin.\nOsi Audu: Not con
 tent with the painted surface\, Osi Audu constructs disciplined forms from
  metal that alternate between wiry lines and shaped planes according to th
 e viewer's position.Ginnie Gardiner: Gardiner meticulously creates abstrac
 t collages from paper and color acetate\, which the artist then precisely 
 paints on canvas\, exploring the subtle color interactions between light a
 nd the form's edge.Whitney Hagen: Whitney Hagen’s paintings depend on fl
 at colors to shape and bend space. Her use of uniformly applied pigments d
 epicts an alternate universe independent of tonal gradations.Alex Kveton: 
 The crisp mineral edges of Alex Kveton's sculptures defy their metallic st
 ructure with organic\, sinuous movement.Susanna Ronner: Susanna Ronner's v
 ibrating lines dance around and among colored shapes in an improvised game
  between mass and movement.Lynne Tobin: Lynne Tobin references a space bey
 ond the confines of paper as arcs emerge from rhythmic lines drawn with in
 k-soaked string.Kati Vilim: The prismatic paintings of Kati Vilim depend o
 n the illusion of refraction as light changes through its passage from one
  angled edge to another.\nIn Vertex\, the artists independently create a b
 alancing act between the physical and the perceived. The oscillating space
  created by the shifting planes in these artworks finds its equilibrium on
 ly at the painted edge or the welded joint. Like the intricate vertices of
  paper origami\, each artist folds space\, and from this intricate work\, 
 a new dimension emerges.\n\n\n\n
