‘the power of Pattern’

Left, “Tulips Pop Up in the Forest” (mosaic) by Lisa Houck, and right, “Solar Spin” (encaustic) by Ross Ozer, in their joint show “Patterned Worlds,’’ at Concord (Mass.) Art, April 2-May 3.

The gallery says:

“The works of Lisa Houck and Ross Ozer meet through a shared commitment to color, pattern, and the handmade.

“Houck’s mosaics evoke living landscapes—birds, leaves, pods, and currents built from thousands of tesserae that shift subtly in hue and rhythm. Her compositions reflect the organic logic of nature: flowing, intertwining, and filled with movement.

“Ozer’s geometric encaustic paintings offer a structured counterpoint. Created dot-by-dot in wax, his works explore circles, arcs, grids, and nested forms inspired by quilting traditions and Bauhaus design. Each composition uses repetition and precise color harmonies to create a sense of balance and architectural clarity.

“Presented together, these two bodies of work reveal parallel ways of constructing visual coherence from tiny incremental units. One is organic, one geometric; one narrative, one abstract. Their dialogue celebrates the beauty of craft, the power of pattern, and the expressive possibilities of color.’’
