Upcoming Exhibitions
ChromaForm
August 19, 2026 - June 6, 2027
"ChromaForm" explores a pivotal moment in mid-twentieth-century abstraction, when artists turned away from the gestural intensity of Abstract Expressionism toward a visual language grounded in perception, geometry, and color, using crisp lines, shaped canvases, and dynamic chromatic relationships to reveal how meaning can emerge through visual experience itself.
