The Armory Fair at the Jacob Javitz convention center is the largest of the NYC art shows. Galleries from all over the world exhibit at this venue. I chose two galleries with Mathematical work in their booth.

The Rodolphe Janssen galley from Brussels was presenting the work of Brooklin A. Soumahora.

The painting “Window Pnk/Ble” from 2024 consists of a grid of  diagonally bisected rectangles, forming right triangles in contrasting colors. The proportions of the rectangles transition from corner squares to narrow vertical rectangles in the center of the work. This technique creates an interesting illusion of compressed space.

The Blue Velvet Gallery from Zurich was presenting the work of CHRYSSA from the 1960’s. For these  large scale works the artists used a technique of printing onto the painted canvas using images directly taken from printed media. “Magic Carpet (Newspaper )” includes repetitive clippings of grids from the stock market  reports. This mathematical data becomes part of an abstract composition.

More art soon.
