NEW ABSTRACTION

OPENING RECEPTION Thursday, May 14th 7-10PM

Featuring works by

Carol Jazzar is pleased to present NEW ABSTRACTION, an exhibition of new abstract paintings rooted in gesture, space, and the qualities of paint.

Abstraction exists today in many forms. It is alive and well and, more than ever, it is refreshingly challenging. Like a breathtaking revelation, this show explores surprising and enlightening ways to understand and rethink contemporary abstraction. The artists presented here vary in age and nationality and come together to form an enriching, diverse experience.

On view are small scale works in a variety of media that synthesize a complex range of references as diverse as water, geometry, and family picnics. The various experimentations with paint application, surface quality, and the intuitive development of shapes plumb the visual tension between distortion and disguise and give the impression of being utterly spontaneous.

This exhibition of colorful high contrast tableaus, spatial rhythm and collaged motifs is in keeping with the gallery’s current trend for thematic exhibitions that take as their point of departure prescient genres throughout the history of art.

Exhibition through June 7th. Saturday and Sunday 1-6 p.m. and by appointment
