Shapes and Lines: Marks and Meaning is a juried exhibition that invites artists to delve into the raw language of visual form—line, shape, gesture, rhythm, and repetition. This show focuses on the expressive power of formal elements that often speak more through feeling than narrative, more through structure than subject.

Artists are encouraged to explore the communicative potential of these basic visual components, using them to create mood, movement, harmony, tension, or symbolic resonance. Whether through bold geometric patterns, gestural mark-making, minimalist compositions, or layered abstraction, this exhibition highlights how simple elements can hold deep complexity and meaning.

This is an ideal platform for abstract work, minimalist exploration, or process-driven pieces that center the act of making—drawing attention to how marks are made, repeated, refined, or disrupted.
