Depth and Space
This exhibit brings together abstract, geometrically grounded works that challenge the traditional boundaries of fine art mediums. Artists blur the line between two-dimensional surfaces and three-dimensional relief forms. By manipulating light, shadow, and texture, each piece invites visitors to view the work from multiple angles to reveal shifting perceptual depth.
