Statement:

Nicelle Beauchene Gallery is pleased to present Tessellations, an exhibition joining the work of thirteen artists who push the boundaries and perceptions of traditional patterning and repetition.///

A mathematical principal that informs tile-like patterns, a tessellation is inherently regular, tight, and strict; composed of interlocking polygons, the resulting visual can seemingly repeat forever.

The artists assembled in Tessellations look to this namesake patterning device—and to other pictorial alchemies like perspective and symmetry—as equal parts guiding principals and as logic boundaries to cross, muddle, and invert.

While practicing across diverse media, each artist finds roots in abstraction with ties to broader histories of art, culture, spirituality, and the natural world.
