Romer Young Gallery – Sequence Opening Reception

Romer Young Gallery is pleased to announce its fifth solo exhibition with New York artist Elise Ferguson, Sequence. Using pattern and color, along with a range of process-driven approaches and modern materials, Ferguson creates works based on mathematical puzzles and geometric variations that land somewhere at the intersection of painting, sculpture and printmaking. The results are beautiful works that reflect the artist’s intuitive use of geometry and her reverence for the purposely imperfect. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, January 22nd, from 1 to 4pm. The exhibition will be on view from January 22 – March 12, 2022.
