The North View Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition featuring eight mid-career artists, deeply engaged with pattern and formal repetition in the realization of visually dynamic and structurally complex works. Referencing a diverse range of strategies and conceptual preoccupations, works in the exhibition will variously touch upon the periodic structures of OP Art, utilitarian concerns of the Pattern and Decoration movement,cumulative processes of Systems Art, the politics of Cultural Identity, and spiritual aspects of symmetry among other concerns.
