Canada is pleased to present Modular Rhythms, a group exhibition on view from February 28 through April 12, 2025, exploring the interplay of repetition, structure, and variation. Through dynamic shifts in scale, material, and process, the exhibition brings together eight artists whose works engage rhythm as both an underlying force and an expressive mode.

Featuring works by Brooklin A. Soumahoro, Brian Belott, Joe DeNardo, Gerald Ferguson, Xylor Jane, Elisabeth Kley, Luke Murphy, and Robin Peck, Modular Rhythms highlights the tension between order and improvisation, precision and chance, surface and depth. Whether through serial gestures, layered compositions, or material accumulation, each artist navigates the space between control and fluidity.

Soumahoro’s vibrational color fields evoke sensory movement and resonance, while Jane’s meticulous, number-based compositions pulse with mathematical precision. Murphy’s digital mappings of light and motion and Ferguson’s frottage imprints of everyday materials explore patterns as both repetition and transformation. Kley’s ceramic sculptures borrow from ornamental histories, while Belott’s collages, Peck’s sculptural constructions, and DeNardo’s photographic assemblages introduce disruption, texture, and accumulation elements.

Through this diverse selection of works, Modular Rhythms considers how visual and material sequences shape perception—how repetition can be both meditative and disorienting, and how structured systems often give way to fluid, unexpected results.
