MANIFOLD showcases four artists who take up colorful abstraction in painting and drawing to stretch the space that these two-dimensional mediums inhabit and depict. Amidst fragmented resonances of abstract forms, Nate Flagg, Alex Jackson, Nadia Haji Omar, and Alexandria Smith depict somersaulting bodies and shimmering ciphers to explore a kind of vibrating space that exists just below the surface, a ripe space where bodies fold and twist as two-dimensional beings occupying and expanding three-dimensional space.
