‘The Shape I’m In’ is a group exhibition curated by Nathan Heuvingh that explores the dynamic interplay between colour, geometric forms and abstraction within spatial environments. Featuring work from Darren Booth, Roda Medhat, Pooja Pawaskar and Christopher Reid Flock, the exhibition presents four contemporary artists and designers who utilize vibrant hues, intricate patterns and structured forms to transform space and challenge perceptions.
Through diverse media, including painting, sculpture and mixed media, this exhibition highlights how geometric forms transcend cultural and linguistic barriers. Drawing from their role as fundamental learning tools in early human development, these forms serve as universal symbols and an essential visual language that speaks to human understanding. Showcasing the unique skills and visual voices of artists whose practice intersects both art and design, ‘The Shape I’m In‘ invites viewers to experience colour and shape in innovative and intriguing ways, creating a space for dialogue around how geometric shapes can be utilized to communicate different ideas, identities and emotions.
This exhibition is not only a celebration of abstraction but also a space for reflection on the shared and divergent approaches of the featured artists. From exploring personal experience and cultural traditions to experimenting with modes of representation, each artist’s work contributes to a collective exploration of how form and colour can shape perception and meaning. Whether through bold, structured paintings or intricately crafted sculptures, the featured works foster a new understanding of how these essential design elements can challenge and inspire.
