Natale Adgnot is a Brooklyn-based artist who creates sculptural drawings made of painted thermoplastic. Her intricate works appear to be two-dimensional sketches when viewed frontally and come into relief when viewed from other angles. Her new series, Chromaticism, references a term in music theory where one uses notes that are outside of a piece’s key. Like adding notes in between the white notes of a scale, Adgnot’s pieces vibrate with new meaning.

Natale Adgnot employs patterns and systems to investigate human vulnerability to dogma. As she says, “Like solving puzzles, I set arbitrary rules and follow them to their logical conclusions.” Hovering between drawing and sculpture, the compositions are defined by repetitive mark-making. Each piece begins with arbitrary marks which are subsequently codified into a visual law, then broken apart and reconstructed as a three-dimensional object. The resulting configurations, which only reveal themselves in the course of executing the rules, alternate between organic shapes and geometric forms that evoke the irregular rhythm of stalactites and stalagmites.
