Blue Square is a group show by four European artists, Wahida Azhari (Germany), Christine Boiry (France), Shawn Stipling (England) and Bogumila Strojna (Poland). The theme and title Blue Square refers to the historical tradition of abstraction and the significance of the square as a geometric form in the paradigm of twentieth century art.

Each of the artists has responded to this theme differently. Azhari responds to the square by creating two diagonal forms that emphasize dynamism between interacting shapes. Boiry emphasizes movement and rhythm in her construction, while Stipling refers to a personal experience in relation to architectural style. For Strojna the cube or square forms part of her essential artistic lexicon or framework, a constraint that is one of the guiding principles of her practice – what she refers to as her ‘cubic grammar’.

Blue Square is curated by Bogumila Strojna.
