Description
Curated by Augustine Romero, the exhibition features 14 artists, each presenting two works created in oil, acrylic, and mixed media. The paintings focus on form, feeling, and intuition, inviting viewers into emotional and imaginative spaces that extend beyond representation.
The exhibition showcases a wide range of abstract styles, from the geometric abstraction of Wing Dixon Lau and Catalina Salinas, to the expressive approaches of Nancy Jones Francis and Carolyn Grady. Also featured are well-known area artists Kari Bell, Bill Sabatini, Gail Sacharczuk, and Karen Macek. Together, the works offer a rich and compelling exploration of contemporary abstraction. Additional artists include: Marca Dickie; Benita Grunseth; Larry Guy; Ginna Heiden; Nicole Kurland; and Jan Tras.
4A was formed one year ago following conversations among artists in Michael Ottersen’s Abstract Art classes at the New Mexico Art League. Word quickly spread, and soon a group of dynamic artists began meeting monthly for mutual support, public education about abstraction, and collaborative exhibition development. The group also hosted a public critique group at Juan Tabo Library, organized by Benita Grunseth.
