Opening Reception: Parallel Perspectives
Location: Laura Rathe Fine Art Dallas
Dallas, TX | Laura Rathe Fine Art is pleased to announce Parallel Perspectives, a dual exhibition featuring new works by Anna Kruhelska and Michael Schultheis. The opening reception will take place on January 10th, 2026 from 4:00 – 7:00 PM at the Dallas Design District location. Parallel Perspectives unites two artists that merge mathematical structure and visual poetry.
Through their respective practices, Kruhelska and Schultheis turn mathematic practices into elegant sculptural and painted expressions. The exhibition highlights how mathematics can be a language of beauty and foundation for emotion and movement. Eschewing the rigid connotations associated with STEM disciplines, Kruhelska and Schultheis create a dialogue between precision and experience.
Polish artist and practicing architect Anna Kruhelska translates architectural principles into sculptural artworks defined by clarity, balance, and spatial rhythm. Working with precisely cut and folded paper and carved plywood, Kruhelska creates movement and fluidity out of the flat and unyielding. Kruhelska meticulously transforms the ordinary medium of paper into the driving foundation of her reliefs. In her plywood pieces, precision-cut forms create mesmerizing undulations of form and color. Kruhelska’s practice reveals how minimal gestures can shape atmosphere, transforming geometric order into sculptural poetry.
A mathematician and scientist turned painter, Michael Schultheis weaves stories about human relationships through mathematical formulae. Schultheis transforms complex theories into abstracted narratives, paying homage to founders of arithmetic like Fibonacci, Galileo, and Euclid. His compositions of analytic curves, equations, and spatial calculations, demonstrate how mathematical forms can create dreamy, atmospheric resonance. Schultheis paints “visual proofs,” on his “internal chalkboard,” turning theorems into maps of relationships, angles, and symmetries. Circles orbit one another, conic sections intersect, and equations stretch across the canvas like characters in motion, in an eternal dialogue that mirrors the constant expansion of the universe.
Parallel Perspectives will be on view through February 6, 2026.
