Contemporary Abstracts, delves into the diverse approaches taken by nine distinguished artists in the realm of abstract art. Through a mesmerizing collection of artworks by Thomas Anfield, Dana Dion, Donald Jarvis, Rita Letendre, Toni Onley, Matt Petley-Jones, Marie-Doris Valois, Ann Vandervelde, and Lan Zhenghui, this exhibition invites viewers to explore the intricate balance between spontaneity and meticulous planning in the creation of abstract art.
In Contemporary Abstracts, the process of artistic creation takes center stage. Here, visitors witness how abstraction unfolds through two distinct avenues: the intuitive exploration of color, form, and texture, and the deliberate precision of planned compositions.
