Structured Planes
Rose Masterpol & Lloyd Martin
December 13 – January 10, 2025
(Santa Monica, CA) Nüart Gallery proudly presents Structured Planes, an exhibition featuring new works by celebrated abstract painters Rose Masterpol and Lloyd Martin, on view from December 13 through January 10, 2025 at the gallery’s Bergamot Station location. This compelling two-person exhibition brings together two artists who, through distinct sensibilities, explore the expressive potentials of geometry, color, and spatial clarity. The exhibition opening reception will coincide with the Bergamot's Station's Annual Winter Market.
Masterpol’s contributions to the exhibition reveal a crisp, assertive visual language rooted in hard-edge abstraction. Her compositions unfold through sharply defined vectors, shifting planes, and chromatic contrasts that infuse her paintings with precision and energy. Each work balances structure and spontaneity, offering a dynamic interplay of controlled form and intuitive gesture.
Martin’s paintings approach structure from a different vantage point. Known for his luminous, layered grids and carefully modulated intervals, Martin builds compositions that evoke architectural rhythm and musical cadence. His surfaces pulse with subtle gradations of color, creating measured spaces that feel at once constructed and atmospheric. The works invite prolonged looking, revealing depth and complexity within their restrained vocabulary.
Together, Masterpol and Martin create a conversation centered on order, rhythm, and the emotive power of abstract form. “Structured Planes” highlights how geometry—handled with clarity and intention—can become a vehicle for thought, mood, and spatial experience. The exhibition underscores each artist’s ability to transform disciplined abstraction into something resonant, contemporary, and deeply human.
