OPENING RECEPTION: 1ST THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 2017, FROM 5 - 8PM
Sullivan Goss is pleased to announce a new exhibition of contemporary abstract works by nine artists with distinct approaches to the 100 year old tradition of non-objective art. For some of these artists, the images are inspired by nature, for others they are inspired by a desire to represent something “beyond” nature. In each case the lack of obvious recognizable objects results in works of art that are evocative on their own visual terms.
