Oneoneone is pleased to announce the opening of Tic-tac-toe, a three-person exhibition featuring works by Eleanor Anderson, Martha Clippinger, and Christopher Dunlap. This is the first time that each artist has exhibited with the gallery, and the first time they have exhibited together.
This exhibition features three artists who work primarily in geometric abstraction. Across a variety of media including painting, sculpture, textiles and glass, each artist uniquely explores composition through color and form. Shapes repeat, echo, and dance across planes of contrasting and complimentary colors. Visual patterns are created, questioned and upended in surprising and inventive ways. Structure becomes a site for lively experimentation, and crucially, each artist’s hand is visibly felt in the work. Avoiding the rigidity of hard edge abstraction, these artists present intuitive and playful approaches to art making, which invite viewers to find delight in the act of looking.
In Anderson’s glass relief works, the interplay between shapes and grid-like structures are “not merely compositional strategies but metaphors for connection with others.” Clippinger’s woven wall hangings and wooden constructions are inspired by “underlying structures [which] are rooted in craft traditions such as weaving and quilt making, as well as in architectural forms and patterns, particularly those found in ancient, modern and vernacular architecture.” Dunlap’s paintings are the result of “layered, intuitive decisions that explore the interplay of form and pattern.” His spatially complex works “invite viewers to become more aware of how they see.”
Across all the works on view, energetic expressions of abstraction emphasize joyful explorations of color, form, and perception.

Artist Statements
Eleanor Anderson
Through my art, I engage in world-making through the process of play and material-errantry. I use collage-based methods of assembling materials to embody what is meant to be “pieced together” — a phrase that speaks not only to historic textile techniques, but also to a relational spirit of bringing many disparate things together. Across my work, objects, colors, and media are reconciled through acts of sewing, knotting, and fusing, through visual linkages formed by lattices and grids. These gestures are not merely compositional strategies but metaphors for connection with others. My practice seeks to alleviate daily doldrums and spiritless ways of living – instead, transforming objects and architectural spaces into paratelic experiences. I gift these works to the viewer as an optimistic nudge towards joy, connection and a playful awareness of how the larger world could be.
Martha Clippinger
I create colorful, geometric artworks that explore division, symmetry, repetition, and interruption. Working across a range of media and scales, I make painted wood constructions, textiles, and large-scale, three-dimensional murals.My work inhabits the spaces between painting and sculpture, fine art and folk art, and craft and design. The artworks’ underlying structures are rooted in craft traditions such as weaving and quilt making, as well as in architectural forms and patterns, particularly those found in ancient, modern and vernacular architecture.
Through an intuitive and improvisational process, I consider perception and sensation of color and seek to create artworks that radiate energy and uplift the viewer.
Christopher Dunlap
My paintings emerge through layered, intuitive decisions that explore the interplay of form and pattern. I’m interested in generating a multiplicity of relationships by using simple shapes to create complex structures. Through placement, repetition, and shifts in implied perspective, the paintings suggest depth while playing with the flatness of their surface. Within these fields, precise color harmonies and chromatic shifts establish an underlying rhythm that guides the viewer's eye across the canvas. Although each work is a static object, I aim to create visual relationships that unfold gradually over time through the act of looking. By slowing down perception, these optical networks reward sustained attention and physical proximity. By allowing the image to be read in multiple spatial ways, the paintings invite viewers to become more aware of how they see. This kind of sustained attention opens a space where perception and sensation overlap, allowing meaning to arise through experience.
