Abstract Concepts
An Exhibition of Conceptual AbstractArt
EXHIBITION :: SEPTEMBER 6-27, 2025
Opening Reception :: Friday, Sept 6, 7–10 pm
Closing Reception :: Sunday, Sept 27, 7–10 pm
Curated by Alex Wilson, Agitator member
Beyond just shape, form, color and gesture, the work being curated for this show seeks concepts that engage in a larger dialog about issues and ideas important to the artist. The message must match, mirror and surmount the aesthetics of the visual image. Work is being sought that addresses politics and philosophy, symbols and language, history and religion, location and geography, and other ideas that challenge convention. Abstract Concepts will be more than just a pretty picture. It will take abstract imagery beyond the surface and invite viewers to interpret and engage with the artwork on another level.
