On the Edge: Abstraction at Work
On the Edge: Abstraction at Work
From a gently distorted perspective to the extreme of a non-objective composition, abstraction can be employed in a wide spectrum, often forcing us to question what we see. This juried exhibition will consider how artists use abstraction to amplify, distort, and push the limits of objective reality—or eliminate it altogether.
Entry Deadline: Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 5 p.m.
