Asymmetry - two-person exhibition at Library Street Collective

Finding synergy within the disparity

If the surface is different, the depths are alike. Indicating the universal relation, Library Street Collective opened a joint exhibition Asymmetry featuring the work of two prominent artists - Robert Moreland and Jacqueline Surdell. At first glance, radically different two new bodies of work create a synergy on a metaphysical level that transcends visual reality.

You will be captivated by Surdell’s textile ‘creations’ made through labor-intensive work. Based upon repetition, color, and shape, the artwork beholds an enchanting vibe that, for a moment, turns the gallery into a sacred space. The lines overlap with one another, and the colors unite - an amalgamation of color and line, connecting and disconnecting through a calming undulation.

The complexity of Surdell’s work opposes the simplicity of Moreland’s flattened canvases. Hand-made with metal tacks, and leather hinges, enriched with dense layers of color, the canvases are an example of a two-toned form that highlights the relation between color, shape, and line.

The artwork stands firmly against the white walls, creating a depth through contrast. Although visually different, the pieces are connected through the forms that perceivably disconnect them. They are conceived out of the same compound - colors, lines, and shapes, manually crafted into a piece of art. When viewed together you can hear the conceptually nuanced language that aligns them into one universal space.

Asymmetry brings a new meaning through differentiation. It draws you to look beyond the surface, and dive into the depths. For more information feel free to visit Library Street Collective - Asymmetry.
