Compositional arrangements of repeating shapes, lines and colors are often utilized to create a dynamic rhythmic energy in an artwork. These vibrating visual rhythms suggest or emphasize a range of feelings and ideas, or dramatic tension if presented in an irregular or asymmetrical manner. Through a range of mediums and techniques this exhibition presents a diverse collection of work rooted in the echoing power of communication via reiteration.
