This exhibition takes us on a visual journey of abstract paintings, drawings, and sculptures from the 1900s to the present. The works of Black Mountain College artist, Frank Hursh, and modernist painter, Will Henry Stevens (1881-1949) demonstrate an artistic vernacular steeped in a spectrum of color, consolidated gestural marks, and poetic compositions— characterizations also featured within Michael Poness’ ceramic vessels. Glass artist Junichiro Baba presents austere and monumental sculptures that capture the separation of nature from society, echoing the overall theme that each artist signals; the allure and importance of abstraction.

Artists: Junichiro Baba, Frank Hursh, Michael Poness, and Will Henry Stevens
