The Mapped Experience: Line, Layer, Stillness
Featuring Geometric Abstract Artist
Chanel Mace
ARTHOUSE on R eagerly unveils the art exhibition “The Mapped Experience: Line, Layer, and Stillness” at ARTHOUSE ON R Gallery on historic R Street in Sacramento April 9 – May 4, 2026. The opening reception, including an opportunity to meet the artist, is Saturday, April 11 from 5-8 PM.
“The Mapped Experience: Line, Layer, and Stillness” presents a series of works that bridge printmaking, painting, and collage through a shared language of structure and restraint. Grids appear as quiet frameworks built from layered ink, watercolor, and paper, revealing subtle shifts of tone and structure.
Each piece emphasizes process which shows the accumulation of line and the construction of surface. The process creates compositions that feel both architectural and meditative. Monochromatic palettes and translucent materials invite close looking, turning repetition and variation into the study of rhythm, stillness, and spatial depth.
Chanel is a geometric abstract artist and printmaker whose works explores the intersection of organic and structured space. Rooted in repetition and form, her compositions reflect a meditative response to physical and psychological environments. Working primarily with drawing, printmaking, and mixed media, she preserves the artist’s hand in every mark, inviting viewers into a layered process of navigation and reflection, leaving each print a unique state.
Originally from Sacramento, Chanel holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and studied at Central Saint Martins in London. After graduation, she worked in Los Angeles at Josephine Press before a year-long post graduate residency at The Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw Poland for Interdisciplinary Printmaking provided by the EU SPINAKER Program. She went on to live and work internationally, including time in Prague and Australia. While based in Sydney, she created works at the Willoughby Arts Centre and served as secretary of the North Sidney Printmakers Association. After a decade abroad, she returned to Sacramento, where she now works out of Myrtle Press and is a member of the California Society of Printmakers.
