I’m thrilled to announce that I’m guest-curating an exhibit titled Contemporary Abstract at The Baum School of Art’s David E. Rodale and Rodale Family Galleries, running from June 13th to July 7th, 2022.
This exhibit showcases the work of Lehigh Art Alliance members, focusing on their unique interpretations of contemporary abstraction. We took an artist-led approach, allowing creators to choose pieces that they felt best embodied this theme.
The result? A vibrant collection that pulls inspiration from various abstract styles, including cubism, marbling, block art, and expressionism. You’ll also find works that playfully blur the lines between abstraction and realism, offering a distorted yet captivating view of reality.
The mediums on display extend far beyond traditional painting. Expect to see collages, digital photography, mosaics, sculptures, and assemblage art – a true testament to the diverse ways LAA artists explore abstraction.
Participating artists include:
