Matt Neuman is an artist and printmaker who makes eye-catching works of geometric art. Born in 1985, he went to college at Boston University, where he studied geometry and art. After college, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, where he now creates his art.
His work Standing Wave is made from acrylic paint on a wooden tabletop. Neuman created black and white curves divided into ten sections. The curves create a mesmerizing, symmetrical pattern which catches the eye.
His work Solstice D1 ½ is a geometric woodcut monoprint collage that includes curves. The piece has red curves against a blue background, with some of curves not aligning. This creates an effect that captivates the observer.
Right now, Neuman has a solo exhibition at Long View Gallery, called Pattern Recognition, that features 30 of his newest works. The exhibition closes August 7.
Abdulrahman Naanseh is a Syrian artist who includes Arabic calligraphy in his works of art. Born in 1991, Naanseh taught himself how to write in calligraphy. He creates art by using colors and arranging the calligraphy in special ways.
“With today’s online culture and the proliferation of graffiti and street art, calligraphy is more visible and influential today than ever before. Naanseh is a great example of an artist who is extending and freeing this ancient form,” said Don Russell, who works at George Mason University.
Naanseh has an exhibition at George Mason University called Pressure, Movement, Effect. The paintings in the exhibition tell the story of the Syrian struggles with politics, religion, and other issues. The exhibition runs from June 17 to August 6.
