The Linear Edge: Myles Bennett, Michael Dickey, Miquel Gelabert and Dani Tull
Pamela Walsh Gallery is pleased to present The Linear Edge, a group exhibition featuring Myles Bennett, Michael Dickey, Miquel Gelabert, and Dani Tull, four contemporary artists whose practices probe the possibilities of line as both boundary and breakthrough.
Through painting, ceramics, and deconstructed hangings, the exhibition traces points of intersection as well as divergence, revealing how shared mediums—and even overlapping subjects—become vehicles for distinct artistic voices. Dani Tull's oil paintings transform line into a meditative language, where sinuous, curving forms negotiate space and rhythm, oscillating between optical vibrations and organic gestures. Miquel Gelabert, by contrast, brings a lyrical dimension to abstraction, where line becomes horizon, memory, and rhythm distilled into luminous color fields. Myles Bennett physically unravels and reconstructs canvas, exposing its woven architecture and allowing line to emerge as thread, incision, and absence. Michael Dickey, working in ceramics, forms vessels of quiet elegance whose curving silhouettes are veiled in rings of color and shifting glazes, where line hovers between surface rhythm and optical illusion.
In The Linear Edge, line is never neutral. It structures space, generates rhythm, and opens conceptual horizons. Across these works, line stretches, layers, fractures, and rebuilds—becoming a site of tension and release, where precision collides with impulse and discipline dissolves into intuition. Together, these four approaches reveal line as an inexhaustible language: sometimes fluid, sometimes austere, it organizes thought, animates matter, and unsettles boundaries between mediums. In this shifting terrain, line emerges simultaneously as structure and symbol, silence and rhythm, risk and revelation.
