The subtitle, Expressionism, for this portion of the multipart summer presentations is an oversimplification used to try and distinguish the artworks between two large categories of art generated by the gallery’s roster of artists. This first part focuses on artworks ranging from abstract compositions using gestural, textured, and painterly approaches of applying medium and pigment to a support, to then incorporating representational elements and figuration to convey emotional content as well as evoking cultural and social messaging. On either end of the spectrum, the artist’s hand and intent is front and center.
