Come to the museum’s Forum Gallery for the opening of a new exhibition of works by Ruth Root and an opportunity to hear the New York–based painter speak.

With a jolt of pattern and shape, Root’s eccentric paintings dazzle and perplex with their play of geometry, color and found images. These new works are composed of two parts involving a shaped panel painted with acrylic and spray paint suspended from a flexible sewn form covered with the artist’s own fabric designs. Incorporating found imagery from news media, art history, online search engines and objects from the Carnegie Museum’s own collection, Root creates eye-popping patterns.
