“Mostly Abstract VI”
Columbus Day Weekend October 12 - 14, 2019
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 12, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Ashawagh Hall, 780 Springs Fireplace Road, East Hampton, NY
In keeping with the rich and storied tradition of Abstract Expressionist exhibitions at Ashawagh Hall, a diverse group of contemporary artists will present “Mostly Abstract Vl”. On view Columbus Day Weekend (October 12 - 14, 2019), the majority of the 12 exhibiting artists have shown together for many years. All are creating work that is a visceral and emotional response to the world, not a literal one.
The paintings and sculptures presented in "Mostly Abstract VI" are the external expressions of an intuitive internal process. The artists investigate this process using many different materials – clay, wood, metal, glass, paint or resin.
Beth Barry curated the exhibition and is participating in the show. Barry is an abstract landscape painter and has curated the annual "Mostly Abstract" show for the last five years. Her art is a response to the light and movement of nature interpreted through the lens of abstract sensibility.
Each of the artists in the show have a similar sensibility. Each approaches their art in their own idiosyncratic way and the exhibition reveals their wide range of imagery, all within abstraction.
The artists in the show are Beth Barry, Barbara Bilotta, Casey Chalem-Anderson, Anahi DeCanio, Anna Franklin, Robert Leibel, Mary Milne, Lesley Obrock, Bo Parsons, Sheila Rotner, Lieve Thiers and Mark Zimmerman.
The show is open Columbus Day Weekend on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 11-5 with an Opening Reception on Saturday, October 12, from 5 -7 p.m. Ashawagh Hall is located at 780 Springs Fireplace Road, East Hampton, NY.
