Curator's Statement:

“My selection of the work on view reflects the diversity of 32 artists who plunge headlong in the mesmerizing world of abstraction. These individual “portraits” of dialogue between artist and surface are their autographs of observation, discovery and invention. 

These artists offer up revelry, quiet grace, restless entanglements with drawn lines rough and tumble, notably exact, tinged with perforation. Zigzagged into repetitive pattern, floating merrily in open space, densely layered into geometric configurations or meandering lazily in tidy script. 

​Consider the raw materials employed by these artists in their abstract lives. Vying for attention are rivers of ink, strands of watercolor, fuzzy trails of graphite, thread stitched onto paper, wire plunging through space, pastel surges or superimposition of pencil. All of which can carry their ideas of grace, tension, leisure, rage or sensitivity.”
