ART IS BOND. is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking new group exhibition, Golden Ratio: Mapping Self, Space, and Other, poised to captivate the art world with its profound exploration of interconnectedness and creativity. The exhibition is set to debut on the very date that marked the inauguration of the gallery in 2022, serving as both a remarkable anniversary celebration and a nod to the gallery's core ethos of presenting an amalgamation of artistic voices in a harmonious collective showcase.
 
Golden Ratio: Mapping Self, Space, and Other stands as a dynamic testament to the fusion of figurative and abstract art, delving deep into the intricate ties that bind self, surroundings, and the enigmatic mysteries beyond. Through introspective portraiture and vibrant abstract compositions, the exhibition invites visitors to contemplate the nature of identity and the expansiveness of both internal introspection and the world that surrounds us. Engaging interactive installations beckon active participation, while the meticulously curated arrangement adheres to the golden ratio, seamlessly weaving diverse perspectives into a mesmerizing tapestry of intellectually stimulating artwork.

Spanning a spectrum from locally renowned Houston artists to fresh international talents making their debut in the United States, the featured artists promise a harmonious blend of diversity and engagement. The exhibition is slated to grace our gallery from September 8th to November 11th, inviting patrons and enthusiasts to immerse themselves in this exquisite showcase of creativity and insight.
