New Artworks Draw Inspiration from Ancient Scripts, Petroglyphs, Codices
2 Rules Fine Art's Square Root, a solo exhibit by Pedro A. Gonzalez, draws inspiration from petroglyphs, ancient scripts and codices.
2 Rules Fine Art's Square Root, a solo exhibit by Pedro A. Gonzalez, includes paintings, drawings and prints that reflect the origins of alphabet systems, signs and symbols, evoking a primordial, yet fictional, code of communication. For these pieces, Gonzalez draws inspiration from petroglyphs, ancient scripts and codices.

Street Art Comes Inside on Marietta Square
Stephanie Rond’s work blurs the line between outdoor and indoor spaces, and seeks to challenge the traditional gender roles associated with each.
There is still time to see Stephanie Rond’s newest solo exhibit, Outside: In at 2 Rules Fine Art on Marietta Square.
