Loretta Kaufman’s acrylic painting “Quartet:  Series M” was selected to be part of Geometry, a juried exhibition at Site: Brooklyn Gallery in September and October 2019.  The exhibition was open to artists worldwide over the age of 18.  There are 50 works in a wide range of media including drawing, painting, printmaking, wall mounted sculpture, collage and video relating to geometry, spanning subject matter, medium, form.  The exhibition opens on September 20 with a Reception from 6 – 9 pm and closes on October 21, 2019. Gallery hours Wed – Sat, 1 – 6 pm.  The gallery’s address is 165 7th St., Brooklyn, New York. Phone: 718-625-3646. 

Site: Brooklyn Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting the current practice of contemporary artists.  This exhibition will illustrate how geometry and art have a deep and intertwined history, and that geometric forms provided classical proportions, complex symbols, and linear perspective.  Many well-known artists including Frank Stella and Mondrian opened up an entirely new language using geometry to get to the roots of form and perception.
