Nüart Gallery is pleased to present Measured Forms, an invitational exhibition
bringing together four artists whose practices investigate the relationship
between perception, structure, and material through construction, repetition, and
sustained formal inquiry. Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and textile,
Noosha Goolab, Howard Hersh, Naoto Miyazaki, and Andrea Myers each
develop highly disciplined visual languages in which repeated gestures gradually
accumulate into coherent structures.
Howard Hersh's paintings investigate the perceptual possibilities of geometry,
color, and optical rhythm. Through precisely organized systems of stripes,
gradients, and geometric interventions, he creates compositions that shift as they
are viewed, allowing spatial relationships to remain active rather than fixed. His
paintings balance mathematical rigor with visual instability, demonstrating how
subtle changes in proportion, curvature, and color can transform the viewer's
experience of space.
Noosha Goolab approaches drawing as an extended process of layering,
erasure, transfer, and revision. Working with paper, charcoal, pastel, and folded
vellum, she builds surfaces in which repeated marks gradually produce delicate
fields of tone and texture. The work records both intentional decisions and the
physical behavior of the materials themselves, allowing traces of pressure, light,
and time to remain visible. Her restrained visual language reveals increasingly
complex relationships within seemingly quiet compositions.
Naoto Miyazaki's sculptures reflect nearly two decades of investigation into
abstract form. Cast in hard plaster, his works evolve through an ongoing search for
equilibrium between straight and curved lines, openness and solidity,
precision and ambiguity. Although each sculpture is carefully resolved, none
presents a singular viewpoint; instead, every angle introduces new relationships
among mass, void, and contour. The result is sculpture that unfolds through
movement, inviting viewers to discover continuously changing forms in the round.
Andrea Myers transforms reclaimed textiles into richly constructed compositions
that merge sewing, collage, and abstraction. Layers of donated fabrics, visible
stitching, and accumulated fragments create expansive surfaces in which color,
pattern, and texture function as structural elements rather than decoration. By
reassembling materials that once served everyday purposes, Myers constructs
works that preserve the physical histories of their components while generating
compelling new visual relationships.
