Arden & White Gallery is pleased to present “A line is a dot that went for a walk”, in collaboration with Blouin Division, curated by Erika Del Vecchio. The exhibition brings together new works by Montreal artists Sarah Stevenson and Matthew Feyld.
Paul Klee famously remarked, “A line is a dot that went for a walk.” With this simple phrase, Klee captured the very essence of drawing and composition, redefining the line as an active gesture rather than a static boundary. His statement became an emblematic lesson of the Bauhaus, where line and form were understood as the building blocks of both art and design, capable of transforming the way we perceive space and movement.In Stevenson’s installations, that journey unfolds as colored filaments drifting into space, fragile yet insistent in their presence. In Feyld’s paintings, the dot lingers, expands, and shifts, tracing the quiet tension between surface and void. Each artist carries Klee’s intuition forward, not by illustrating it, but by allowing the simplest mark to unfold into new dimensions of thought and perception.
A line is a dot that went for a walk offers a meditation on form’s passage through space and surface. Stevenson and Feyld share a minimalist sensibility shaped by proportion, balance, and clarity, privileging an encounter where shape, color, and material converge. In the intimacy of a home, these works reveal a deeper presence, not as static objects but as living elements that subtly reshape how one moves, looks, and dwells within space.
