New to the gallery and exhibiting in their first show together, Commito and Hotchkiss work on opposite sides of the country, while sharing a visual language rooted in geometric abstraction. Commito, an artist and art professor at Kent State in Ohio, paints elaborate convergences of line, arc, shadow and depth. Hotchkiss, a San Francisco based artist and arts editor and writer, paints hard-edged and high contrast graphic compositions. Markedly unique in their subject and execution, the works in Knot Garden share a sense of spatial transaction where both artists use the two dimensional surface to carefully negotiate the tussles and space grabs of their formal pursuits.
