Organic Abstraction: Contemporary Outdoor Sculpture returns to the grounds of the Southampton Art Center for its 2nd season. The exhibition explores the materials, processes, and techniques of established, internationally recognized, museum-collected sculptors working within a formalist paradigm.
Appreciable is the artist's plight as they shape, mold and weld a negotiated balance between malleability and constraint dictated by their chosen material. Syntax, form, and the artistic process become the subject matter of each work, each being most immediately understood by its physical attributes engendering a pure, aesthetic experience, free of narrative.
