Visual Elements: This artwork features a striking geometric composition with bold, intersecting lines and patterns. The use of contrasting black and white tones creates a visually striking and dynamic effect, highlighting the interplay of negative and positive space.
Subject Matter: The artwork depicts an abstract, architectural-inspired design, with rectangular and curved forms arranged in a rhythmic, interlocking pattern. There are no recognizable, representational elements, making this a purely abstract work.
Artistic Style and Technique: The artwork employs a minimalist, modernist aesthetic, with a focus on the interplay of line, shape, and texture. The intricate, woven-like pattern suggests the artist's use of careful craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Context: This abstract work reflects the artist's exploration of the formal elements of art, emphasizing the inherent beauty and visual interest that can be found in a reductive, geometric composition.

Various Small Fires (Los Angeles /Dallas /Seoul) began as a series of conversations with artists and curators in Esther Kim Varet’s Venice Beach kitchen while working on her doctoral dissertation. VSF debuted in Hollywood as an official gallery in 2015 with a roster of artists and its current Johnston MarkLee Architects-designed building. The Hollywood gallery contains three exhibition spaces, a unique sound corridor, and an outdoor gallery. VSF’s exhibition program explores several curatorial lines: climate, equality, and an international conversation. The gallery is known for offering artists debut shows, creating intergenerational conversations among the artists on its roster, and solidifying artists’ legacies within art history. In 2019, VSF opened a second location in the Hannam neighbourhood of Seoul, South Korea, followed recently this Spring by VSFs third outpost in Dallas, Texas. While Varet has very personal connections to both locations, they are also superlative art communities. These expansions emphasise the gallery’s commitment to innovation and global dialogue in the twenty-first century. In 2021, VSF became a member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). ...
