Rhythm: Movement in Art

Date: Feb 13 2026 – Apr 9 2026
Gallery: Kay Daugherty Gallery

This exhibition examines how artists capture, interpret, and evoke movement through visual rhythm. From the fluidity of gestures to the pulse of repeated forms, and from the suggestion of physical motion to the sensation of energetic flow, this show celebrates artworks that embody momentum, dynamic flow, and cadence. Viewers are encouraged to experience how visual art can reflect the beats, patterns, and motions that animate the world around us. The chosen works reference rhythm found in nature, the human body, architecture, sound, or purely abstract movement, with a central focus on how artists create the feeling of motion through visual means.
