Exhibition Dates

April 19th- May 21st

Opening Reception April 30th, 3-5 pm

Hadley is a Bay Area-based artist who has studied, worked, and exhibited in the area for the majority of the last decade. Of her work, the artist states:

My paintings explore the connection between systems in our environment and how they relate to my own impulse to construct order. The structures I develop become a woven pattern of overlapping and intertwining shapes and lines. The marks become a visual network of intricate systems and patterns that I build and deconstruct by establishing a logic and method…

I am exploring terrains of connections; physical, psychological, emotional, neurological. I am interested in the depiction of these connections and tracking layers of information. I am curious how the viewer is able to move through the accumulation of marks, finding their own pathways to navigate.

The notion of “terrains of connections” has been a continual motif throughout Radt’s work over the years. Though her colors, shapes, and compositions have shifted and mutated with time, Radt has maintained a captivating geometric complexity in her artistic approach. Angles, dots, and lines all converge in stunning undulations, bringing to mind representations of molecules, constellations, data, organic spores, and deep space. The works represented in Moment by Moment showcase a new depth and intensity that is a distinct yet natural progression from previous work. While the visual themes of bonds and connectivity have been a staple throughout her career, these new works display a new, more distilled sophistication in technique and expression. The richer palettes and intricate compositions of these new works suggest new territory, creatively and conceptually for the artist. This new territory is beautiful and fascinating. Moment by Moment is not to be missed.
