Solo Project by Katerina Lanfranco
Curated by Katherine Murdock

Mystic Geometry - Circling the Square is an immersive and site-specific installation that centers itself around an octagonal floor mandala and sculpture situated at the center of the square gallery. The walls of the gallery are composed of seven large-scale paintings that feature geometric forms creating a panoramic sanctuary for the viewer. The geometric forms found in Lanfranco’s artwork represent the elements of nature and mystical concepts. This exhibition provides a reprieve from everyday life and offers an inviting and encompassing aesthetic experience. Through her installation, Lanfranco investigates the symbolic characteristics and allegorical narratives of Platonic solids and geometric forms that exist in nature. Lanfranco explores the physical and esoteric mysteries of such naturally occurring forms that have been referenced throughout art history, spirituality, and philosophy.
