Geometry Studio Presents: “Conversations” – An Exhibition by Marechal Brown and Larry Dobens
Opening Reception Saturday, September 21st, 4-8pm. Runs through October 31st, 2024.

Brooklyn, NY – Geometry Studio is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, “Conversations,” featuring the works of two artists, Marechal Brown and Larry Dobens. “Conversations” presents a series of photographs and paintings produced in the last five years. Brown, based in Blue Hill, Maine, and Dobens in New York City, each make a study of their respective landscapes. Though working in radically different locales, the artists have independently chosen to direct their focus downward, distilling visions through reflections in water. Through vastly different environments, viewers are offered a compelling dialogue between urban and rural reflections.

Exhibition Dates: September 21st – October 31st, 2024
