A pinch me moment…..
Thank you @nytimes & Laurel Graeber for featuring “GEOMETRIES” with @abstractexit@rico_gatson@chrisbogia and myself.
When I started painting again, it was straight from the heart, with intention to create a world that was based in love, community, service and representation. What happened after was and is purely magical. ✨✨✨
As always immense gratitude too @sugarhillmuseum & @damiendavis .
A beautiful dream turned real.
🙏🏼🤎

This installation marks another full-circle moment for me. Fifth Avenue and 13th Street once defined my daily landscape while I was attending Parsons, and as I arrived to install “Tessellations” at 55 Fifth Avenue—at the very intersection of those two streets, wonderful memories surfaced. Standing there, installing this work while facing the building where I once studied and attended classes, I was struck by the unexpectedness of it all 🪄✨.
My creative path has unfolded through many chapters and crossings, shaped by time, risk, and persistence. Yet this moment feels uniquely aligned—quietly extraordinary, unmistakably kismet.
I am deeply grateful to Tessa, Francis, Bryce, and the entire team for their trust and support, and for making this meaningful moment possible. 🖤🤍
Special Thank you to Natalie Kates and Damien Davis 🖤🤍.
Join us Tuesday, February 10th for a toast. Hope to see you there.

LAST WEEK ON VIEW | Loved In Time
Last week to explore ‘Loved In Time’ exhibition featuring works of Marisol Martinez, Prema Murthy, Rachel Rubenstein, Kim Uchiyama, and Karin Waskiewicz.
Five abstract women artists exhibited together to create a cohesive yet multifaceted dialogue about the cycles of life, the resilience of the human spirit, and the beauty of impermanence. From the rhythmic geometry of Martinez’s and Uchiyama’s works to the layered
excavations of Waskiewicz and Rubenstein, and the cosmic geometry of Murthy, the exhibition is a
testament to the power of abstraction to transcend boundaries.
Visit us at 42 Allen st, NY Wed-Sat 12-7pm
or by appointment.

The unique use of shape and color allows Martinez to speak about the complexities of
identity, community, and emotion in a way that is both intimate and universal. Geometric abstraction
in the artist’s work is an attempt to capture the essence of the life itself, creating tension and
contradiction. The richness of color and form refer to the spectrum of human emotions and
experiences, and our collective and individual journeys over time. Each piece is a meditation on the
fluidity of our existence—showing that life is not static, but rather a constant ebb and flow of feelings,
encounters, and revelations. Martinez’s abstraction serves as a bridge and triggers a dialogue, creating
space for a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other. By focusing on the emotional and social
undercurrents of human life, she invites the viewer into a shared moment of reflection—one that
transcends words and speaks directly to the unconscious.

The exhibition “Loved In Time”, featuring Marisol Martinez, Prema Murthy, Rachel Rubenstein, Kim Uchiyama and Karin Waskiewicz is on view till February 28th!
The title, Loved in Time, inspired by Rubenstein’s painting, underscores the exhibition’s thematic
preoccupation with the intersection of time and emotion. By invoking the passage of time, the artists
articulate the ways in which memory, experience, and the ephemeral are embedded within material
and process.
