“It is unstraight lines, or many straight and curved lines together, that are eloquent to the touch. They appear and disappear, are now deep, now shallow, now broken off or lengthened or swelling. They rise and sink beneath my fingers, they are full of sudden starts and pauses, and their variety is inexhaustible and wonderful.” . . . The author is a blind woman, Helen Keller. Her sensitiveness shames us whose open eyes fail to grasp these qualities of form. —Meyer Schapiro, “On the Humanity of Abstract Painting,” 1960. From ARTFORUM, NOV 2021, “UNSTRAIGHT LINES: Louise Fishman, 1939-2021” By American artist Amy Sillman writing about the death of her friend and companion artist Louise Fishman.
This exhibition is about the journey an artist makes in moving from a landscape they see, to making their marks on a surface or material. Abstract art, a major art stream in modern art since the 1900’s, has always invited the viewer to make out for themselves the patterns, forms and colours. Few abstract artists want to impose their ideas of the viewer; rather they wish us to make up our own mind.
The artists selected for this exhibition are all passionate about landscape and have a different take on the abstract theme and how they interpret landscape.
