Let’s Talk abstraction

What is it really? How did it get its place in the art world? Why is it important? Collectable? How to judge the value? Some people respond on a completely emotional level. Some respond strongly to the aesthetic. Some want a way to see inspiration and beauty in non-representational imagery. Some are very impressed by established values. Some see it as a window into a new reality. So many variables! It hobbled onto the art scene in a big way as a post war phenomenon, although the roots go much further back. Atrium is presenting a sampling of abstract work from the gallery collection for you to contemplate and enjoy. Some are new works in a first showing, and the exhibition also includes a few of our favorites. Please enjoy and we welcome you to send your comments and impressions.

"Let's Talk Abstraction," will be presented online, opening September 16th. It will also include an on-site installation of several works for you to view in person. Due to COVID restrictions we will be limiting the number of visitors, and would appreciate an email or call if you plan to stop by. Masks are required and all COVID recommendations will be followed to ensure a safe experience.  We look forward to hearing from you and seeing many as well.
