Quiet Rules

Moskowitz Bayse presents Quiet Rules, a group exhibition bringing together paintings by Tauba Auerbach, Lecia Dole-Recio, Franziska Goes, Cynthia Hawkins, Angela Heisch, Christopher Iseri, Justin Margitich, Allison Miller, Dianna Molzan, Alex Olson, Zak Prekop, and Richard Tinkler. The exhibition explores how systems, repetition, grids, chromatic sequences, and material structures can become frameworks for abstraction rather than limitations on expression.

The works in Quiet Rules move between precision and impulse, using order as a way to create nuance, tension, and emotional depth. Instead of treating abstraction as pure improvisation or strict procedure, the exhibition presents painting as a negotiation between structure and freedom, where rules are established, bent, and transformed into expressive visual language. The result is a thoughtful and refined exhibition that invites close looking and rewards attention to subtle shifts in color, surface, pattern, and painterly decision-making.
