Work of Rob De Oude
Territory of Abstraction Exhibition
This Group Show  will feature the work of artists that share an interest in geometry, color, pattern, and repetition. Yet, despite the material and optical similarities each artist approaches their work with a distinct purpose and context, commenting on a variety of subjects such as architecture, space, psychology, and illusion. When put together their work showcases the expansive nature of contemporary abstract art, and the potential content of relatively simple forms.

Diane Lachman
Portamento: shifting color
Portamento is a musical term that describes a continuous progression from one tone to another. Like a violinist who produces sounds that glide from pitch to pitch, she creates harmonious paintings by shifting colors from hue to hue. She applies oil paint onto birch panels in layers to create vibrant geometric abstractions.

Justin Duerr
The Geometry of Time
Justin Duerrs work deals with life-forms, dualities and transcendent states. His intricate pen and ink scroll drawings are ongoing installments. There are currently 22 panels and spanning over 60 feet. If he should have forewarning and is able, he hopes to make a final scroll before his death which will connect to the first panel culminating in a huge cycloramic image of his experiences and thoughts.
“If I’m afforded enough time to work on it, I may be able to finish hundreds of feet of this work, and the story arc and characters should be able to prevent many actual real-world disasters in the future by subtle/strange influence. In the meantime, the discipline of the art-activity is creating and shaping me into someone fit to serve the forces I am delineating.“
