The presentation includes 10 new canvases organized as 4 single paintings and 3 diptychs. The sizes of the artworks range from 30 x 30 inches up to 60 x 60 inches square and a couple measuring 30 x 60 inches in horizontal formats. This is a debut of not only diptych canvases, but also all new compositions that depart from his familiar woven lattice format. These new paintings are based on pentagonal tessellations where the pentagon shapes are abstracted and assembled in rigorous grid-like repeating patterns as well as tessellated to generate asymmetric compositions. Huffman has cleverly leveraged the asymmetry and combined this feature within the diptych compositions. Each panel has an asymmetric arrangement of shapes. However, the pair of paintings within a diptych are mirrored compositionally, but not with respect to the specific arrangement of colors in each. Thus, at first glance, each canvas singly as well as the diptych, reads as asymmetric compositions and in a narrative fashion. Ignoring the color placement in each canvas and looking only at the arrangement of the internal shapes in each diptych, the overall structures are symmetrical. Therefore, all remains well in the universe of geometry and pattern painting.
