Abstract characters

“Back to the Garden” (acrylic on canvas), by Diane Novetsky, in her show “On the Cusp,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, March 5-30.

The gallery says:

“Diane Novetsky presents a new body of work that centers around curvilinear forms—circles and spheres that serve as celestial bodies, sources of light, architectural fragments, and constellations. These shapes, both serpentine and biomorphic, evoke the female form, suggesting sensuality, while the circular forms represent the continuity of life and the cyclical nature of existence. Through geometry in its most iconic form, Novetsky’s work becomes an abstract narrative, where these forms take on roles as characters, revealing stories of their creation.’’
