Artistic Independence

Selected from hundreds of submissions, Artistic Independence explores Abstract and Neo-Expressionistic works.

Many of the artworks in this exhibition are dominated by robust colors in unlikely highly textural arrangements. Artists showed little restraint in their gestural movements and brush strokes revealing an independence for which this show is so aptly named. This assemblage of work demonstrates swift and playful contrasts illuminating both chaos and order.

The art in this show is reflective and harkens to works from Georg Baselitz, Francesco Clemente, Anselm Kiefer, Willem de Kooning, and Robert Motherwell.

Artists include: Kayla Abedelal, Stella Chang, Terri Deskins, Jemal Diamond, Mark Dierker, Pauline Fernandez, Stephanie Holznecht, Kenneth Johnson, Jane Kamentser, Scott Leahing, Jake Lipton, Julian Lombardi, Arturo Martinez, Nicholas Nicola, Bruce Sanders, Olga Tarrant, Kat Tatz, Minh Vu, John Wood, Karen Wysopal, Francine Zorehkey
