“Shades of Abstraction,” is on view from September 14 to December 18, 2012, at the SMI Gallery @ Academy Square. “Shades of Abstraction,” curated by Patricia Selden and Pam Cooper, examines the many shades of abstraction, which can include Op Art, Geometric Abstraction, Abstract Expressionism, Color Field, Sculpture, and Minimal Art. Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color, and line to create a composition that may exist with a degree of independence from visual references. Abstraction indicates a departure from the accurate representation of reality that can be slight, partial, or complete. The works of art in this exhibition exist along this continuum, and include painting, photography, collage, and mixed media.
