A Sense of Structure
work by Steven Elbert
April 10 – May 23, 2020
Reception: Friday, April 10 | 6-8 pm
Work shown in “A Sense of Structure” illustrates Steven Elbert’s fundamental interest in both literal and figurative structure. Sometimes the forms are directly related to buildings, and sometimes they are part of the natural world, exemplifying the inherent geometry of our universe. The works are expressed in multiple media forms, such as Paintings, Drawings, Photographs, and various Printmaking techniques.
