Reflections and Abstractions Call For Artists
We invite all artists to enter our upcoming exhibition Reflections and Abstractions. Our search for Reflections is precisely those aspects one focuses on and what is visual at certain points in time which features aspects of light. Like the return of light from a surface, the production of an image by or as if by a mirror or the action of bending or folding back, reflective patterns. Abstractions borrow certain coordinations from already constructed structures or images and reorganize them in a function of new givens. This can originate from certain color, figure, nature and consistence having been observed to go together, or perceived, and compounding them.
We look forward to seeing many interesting and beautiful works of art.
