Frames of Reference, curated by Wilma Tabacco
June 16 - July 8 2012, Exhibition opening event Saturday June 16th, 2-5pm
The exhibition, Frames of Reference, demonstrates the breadth of stylistic approaches and the apparently inexhaustible motivational impulses that compel contemporary artists to create imaginative geometric abstract fictions. The selected works in this exhibition might fit neatly into one or several of the categories Bob Nickas has devised for analysing current abstract painting practices: hybrid pictures – rhythm and opticality, colour and structure, found/eccentric abstraction, form/space/scale and the performative act of painting itself. 1
