Rhythm & Flow brings together the vibrant, material-driven practices of David Barthold and Josh Lambert in a dynamic dialogue of structure, motion, and pattern. Both artists explore rhythm—Barthold through the exuberant visual culture of urban life and Lambert through the intuitive sequencing of abstract form.
Barthold’s sculptures draw from the theatrical and the everyday, transforming metal, sign paint, and salvaged materials into playful yet poignant assemblages. His works evoke the ornate façades of Brooklyn brownstones, the whimsy of roadside Americana, and the pulse of the city itself. They are vibrant totems of visual noise and human ambition, rooted in place and memory.
In contrast, Lambert’s wall-based constructions focus on rhythm as a process of iteration and variation. Through carefully layered wood panels and pigment, he creates tactile compositions that operate like visual scores—each panel a beat, each work a shifting cadence. Together, Barthold and Lambert offer a meditation on flow: of cities, time, and form, where structure meets improvisation and repetition gives rise to invention.
