Monday, April 27th

This Thursday, O Cinema Wynwood & ArtCenter/South Florida invite you to the opening reception of Foundations, Parameters and Volumes, a solo exhibition by Babette Herschberger. With a focus on minimal composition, process, surface and color, Herschberger’s paintings transform the banality of the original materials into subtle intersections of plane and form. This new series of paintings begins with collaged paper as its foundation and she uses them as studies or sketches for larger works. This work aims in every way to become a graphic distillation of her longstanding painting practice and a body of collage work created from informal materials including product packaging and cardboard. This event is FREE and open to the public.
