Marilyn Lerner's Geometric Paintings Explore Music and Time at Kate Werble Gallery
The exhibition 'Walking Backward Running Forward' by Marilyn Lerner was showcased at Kate Werble Gallery in New York City from September 4 to October 5, 2018. This display included fourteen paintings spanning three decades, featuring five works from the late 1980s and nine created after 2016. Two rondos, one from 1989 and another from 2018, illustrated the evolution of Lerner's artistic style. Her art, characterized by geometric forms and instinctive use of color on wood, includes significant pieces like 'Harmonic Relations' (1988) and 'Black Center' (2017). Following her exposure to Algerian Rai music, Lerner's color palette became more vibrant, aiming to translate musical rhythms into her artwork. The gallery was situated at 83 Vandam Street, New York City.
