“Along the Lines” exhibition now on view in the Make Studio gallery! Ft. Dina Klar, Kareem Samuels and Alex Albert.
Reception Sat • June 6 • 2-5pm - save the date!

Even though their respective tenures with Make Studio range between 1 and 15 years, and their artistic styles vary just as widely, the distinctive presence of line work is a common denominator in the art practices of Kareem Samuels, Alex Albert and Dina Klar.

In her homages to superheroes, Dina Klar builds rich, linear, occasionally bird-nest-like textures which dominate over the presence of color.

“Along the Lines” examines how the three featured artists and their individual practices relate to each other.
