The Poetry of Gravity: An Exhibition of Work by Martin Amorous
VISITING HOURS
- January 7 - March 6
- Tuesday through Thursday: 1 to 4 PM
The collection features large-scale paintings and small works on paper that blend organic forms with geometric precision. Amorous’ unflinching black-and-white lines and drips suggest a vast landscape while incorporating subtle interventions from the artificial world. His monochromatic works capture light and shadow, evoking a post-apocalyptic landscape where nature and artificial elements coexist in a delicate balance.
