Abstrakt: A Group Exhibition of Abstract ArtJuly 6-28, 2019opening reception: Saturday, July 6, 2019, 5-8preview during Saugerties First Friday, July 5, 2019Closing reception: Sunday, July 28, 2019, 2-5 Abstrakt: A Group Exhibition of Abstract Art includes work by forty four artists that create a wide range of abstract work using various mediums— acrylic, drawings, encaustic, mixed media, monoprints, oil, pastel, photography, and sculpture. Abstrakt includes work by Theodosea Tamborlane whose colorful canvas calls to mind childhood toys and games, whereas Duchess County artist Karl Schmitz’s canvas explores the balance between order and chaos through his use of color. Hudson painter Jane Ehrlich’s gestural abstracts loosely reference aerial landscapes by combining white straight, zig zag, and curvilinear lines interacting with the background color and New Paltz artist Jerry Teters whose work also calls to mind landscape. “My intention is to evoke a sense of place,” explains Teters, “a mood, or an object that connects with viewers and triggers them to explore their own experiences and sensibilities.” Additional artists include Florence Ancillotti, Loel Barr, Ed Berkise, Angelina Collins, Arabella Colton, Theresa Land Daniel, Shelley Davis, Nancy deFlon, Joan Ffolliott, Carol Flaitz, John Folchi, Lynne Friedman, Andrea Geller, Denise Giardullo, Russell Gordon, Tom Hackett, Martha Hill, Anne Marie Hoffstatter, Annette Jaret, Roxie Johnson, Hilary Lander, Dorothea Marcus, Joanne Martignoni, Tricia Miho, Wilma Miller, Puneeta Mittal, Shelley Tran McClure, Ann Morris, Rich Morris, Nancy O’Hara, Susan Phillips, Deborah Ramsden, Susanna Ronner, Debra Sanchez, Linda Schultz, Roberta Sickler, Richard Spisto, Carl Voegtling, jd weiss, and Fay Wood.
