Laura Rathe Fine Art will present "Art of Paper," a group exhibition featuring new works from 15 national and international contemporary artists, including Carly Allen Martin, Miriam Fitzgerald Juskova, Karen Hawkins, Zhuang Hong Yi, Gary Komarin, Anna Kruhelska, Robert Mars, Don Morris, Charles Patrick, Meredith Pardue, Javier Leon Perez, Kandis Susol, Nina Tichava, Cecil Touchon, and James Verbicky.

A common bond that holds the power to connect one to all, paper historically existed as a foundation of communication and creativity. "Art of Paper" brings together a group of artists that are focused on elevating the often-overlooked material. Whether gestural or structured, calculated or organic, each of the featured artists’ work highlights a veritable chameleon of media possibilities.

These artists expand on the medium’s creative potential through sequenced architectural wall reliefs, encaustic sculptures, biomorphic patterns, repurposed ephemera, and rhythmic compositions. Paper, for all its fibrous strength, is capable of mesmerizing feats of elasticity.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through August 19.
