Triangles: Art Exhibition Catalog - Ventana 244 Gallery, Brooklyn, New York (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502817006)

The art exhibition "Triangles" (Gallery Ventana 244, Brooklyn, New York - December 5th - 21st 2014) has been curated by Brooklyn based abstract artist and curator Melissa Staiger. It features seventeen contemporary artists and their different approaches on the subject of the triangular shape. The exhibition continues the conversation of this geometric symbol where artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Wassily Kandinsky and Blinky Palermo have left off. Featured artists in "Triangles" are Peter Acheson, Liz Ainsile, Vincent Como, Jon Cowan, Glen Cunningham, Mark Dagley, DeShawn Dumas, Elizabeth Hazan, Maria Hupfield, Osamu Kobayashi, Janet Kurnatowski, Ben LaRocco, Rossana Martinez, Brooke Moyse, Jason Rohlf, Li Trincere and Julie Weitz. Their work incorporates triangles through various paint layers, through the lens, sown and performed. Kandinsky once stated: "Who knows, maybe all our 'abstract' forms are 'forms in nature'." As science and consciousness are expanding, the triangular shape presents itself as a meaningful symbol. It serves as a building block of life in the tiniest particles of our universe, and many cultures have been using it as a powerful symbol for thousands of years. The "Triangles" exhibition provides a contemporary interpretation and integration of the form.
