A curation by Natalie Slater, Curator at Singulart - 'Lines of Tension' brings together works in which line becomes both structure and disturbance. Across black-and-white compositions, thin marks, scratches, loops, and restless gestures accumulate into surfaces that feel at once deliberate and unstable. The restraint of the palette sharpens attention toward movement itself—toward the ways line can hold, divide, interrupt, and bind space. Some works approach this tension through repetition and orbit, where circular forms and looping marks establish a measured internal rhythm. Others lean into abrasion: scratched surfaces, scribbled fields, and layered interruptions that seem to test the limits of control. In each case, the mark functions less as description than as force. What connects the selection is the continual negotiation between positive and negative space. Black advances, white recedes, then reverses. Delicate lines gather into dense atmospheres before dissolving back into openness, allowing each composition to hover between precision and chaos, geometry and instinct.
