CURVILINEAR
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 30, 1 to 3 PM
Exhibit runs from March 30 to May 11, 2025
Metro Art Studios is delighted to have an exhibit of the work of Deborah Loeb Bohren as Featured Artist, starting March 30.
Curvilinear explores how abstraction in photography can transcend literal representation, offering a deeper, more intuitive experience of form, movement, and space.
Lines and curves — fundamental elements in abstract art — shape how we perceive form, movement, and emotion. In Curvilinear, they serve as a bridge between reality and interpretation, distilling the essence of objects and architecture into their purest visual forms. Lines create structure, direction, and rhythm, while curves introduce fluidity, tension, and grace. Together, they transform everyday scenes into dynamic compositions, revealing hidden harmonies and geometric beauty.
Gallery hours: Thursday through Saturday, 12 to 4 PM and by appointment.
