The Almine Rech gallery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is currently presenting a breathtaking group show of female artists who create abstract work. The the art in the exhibition spans decades and includes some very famous artists like Elaine De Kooning and Helen Frankenthaler.

There was one work in the show that was particularly mathematical. Minjung Kim’s mixed media “Insight” from 2017 featured a collection of identical circles positioned in horizontal rows.

In each of the rows, the circles got closer and closer as the viewers eyes travel across from left to right, at first only overlapping slightly, until finally completely layering one onto the other. This painstaking process rendered an almost ghost like march across the plane
