MessageCollection: Bridging Form & Figure, 2025
“Bridging Form & Figure” invites you to explore the dialogue between the human presence and the spaces we inhabit and create. This exhibition delves into how artists interpret the human form- its inherent structures, emotions, and narratives- or the built environments that shape our lives- from the defining presence of architectural structures to the quiet solitude of an interior.
This exhibition reveals how these two seemingly distinct elements are perpetually intertwined. You’ll witness artworks where the human figure or face takes center stage, celebrating the beauty and complexity of humanity. Alongside these, pieces focusing solely on architectural forms highlight the beauty, geometry, and implied human experience within man-made structures. Some pieces mix and mingle these two themes together, directly linking the form and the figure in one work of art.
Through diverse artistic approaches, “Bridging Form & Figure” challenges us to see how we are shaped by our surroundings, and how, in turn, our presence leaves an indelible mark on the world we build. It’s an exploration of the fundamental relationship between the organic and the architectural, and the endless ways artists bridge this fascinating divide.
Featured Artists: Gentry Amstutz, Natalie Avondet, Landon Enlow, Jared Farouki, Teresa Fry, Mark Jackson, Jesus Martinez, Valerie Rippey, Bryan Sanders, Shaza Umran
