Robert Standish’s “Carbon, Titan, Titanium (Rhythmic #1)” presents an interplay between elemental matter and fluid abstraction, where layers of black, white, and neutral hues fracture and reconstitute themselves across the canvas. The title itself evoking strength, transformation, and industrial resilience suggests a dialogue between the organic and the engineered, the geological and the manmade.

In Gratitude, Sarah Rice renders the intangible with obsessive clarity What appears at first as an expansive terrain—perhaps an aerial landscape, a shifting seascape, or magnified skin—gradually
reveals itself as something less literal and more sensory. Composed entirely of hand-drawn ink lines, the work breathes with quiet intensity, each mark an act of presence, discipline, and release

Creme on Black II presents a commanding dialogue between contrast, form, and surface texture. In this diptych, bold black and creamy white shapes interlock and collide across two adjoining panels, creating a visual rhythm that feels at once structured and spontaneous. Geometric forms—arcs, blocks, and slanted edges shift in and out of alignment, guiding the eye through a deliberate choreography of movement and pause.
Haleh Mashian’s “Intertwined In Moonlight” presents a dense, layered forest where light and shadow weave together in a rhythmic composition The monochrome palette enhances the raw textures of the tree trunks, emphasizing their intricate patterns and the organic variations in their surfaces. Vertical lines dominate the space, creating a sense of movement, while the interplay of deep blacks and soft grays adds dimension, pulling the eye through the tangle of forms.

Haleh Mashian’s “Icelandic Glow” strips the forest down to its purest elements light, shadow, and texture putting the stark beauty of winter on fully display. Deep blacks and radiant whites form a dramatic contrast, allowing the interplay of illumination and darkness to take center stage The absence of color heightens the emotional depth, evoking a quiet intensity that lingers long after the first glance There is an undoubtedly cinematic quality to the scene an air of anticipation, as if something profound is about to unfold within the frozen silence.

Haleh Mashian’s “Frosted Trickle” is a masterful meditation on subtlety, texture, and the ephemeral beauty of water in motion. Departing from the bold, fiery intensity of her “Jeweled Red Tears” and “Tears of Joy” , this piece embraces restraint, delicacy, and the quiet elegance of a world distilled to its softest hues. It is a painting that does not shout it whispers, inviting the viewer to step closer, to lose themselves in its intricate, almost spectral surface
