The line is among the most elemental marks in art. It often serves as an artist’s starting point, the gesture that begins their process of altering the blank support before them with imagery. But for contemporary artists Patrick Carrara andInger Johanne Grytting, the line is not only the building block but is the focus of their works, as well as the vehicle through which they express their innermost states and explore their relationship to the larger world. This fall, Muriel Guépin Gallery brings together their new works in “Patrick Carrara and Inger Johanne Grytting,” an exhibition that encourages viewers to look at—and beyond—the line.
