Abstract Concepts Opening

Beyond just shape, form, color and gesture, the work in this show seeks concepts that engage in a larger dialog about issues and ideas important to the artist. The messages match, mirror and surmount the aesthetics of the visual image with subtexts and contexts that address politics and philosophy, symbols and language, history and religion, location and geography, and other ideas that challenge convention. Abstract Concepts will be more than just a pretty picture. It features abstract imagery whos full meaning lies well beyond the surface and invites viewers to interpret and engage with the artwork on many adept levels.
