Ram
Samocha’s
energetic drawing performance,
Abstract Peace, ignites the exhibition as his gestural
spontaneity flares.
Intellectual underpinning removes abstraction from the physical so
that mental and spiritual practice is as evident as the artistic.
This coupling of idea with color, form, material and the personal
visual vocabulary of each artist makes
ab strak’ tid
an exhibition of
rarefied thought.
The
architectonic light and monument works of Khaled Mansur, the rich,
shimmering and seemingly bejeweled fabric of Heidi Thompson’s and
Scott Taylor’s layered colors, the lyric illusions in Mahmoud
Meraji’s and Cesar Forero’s dancing shapes, the humourous sense of
play with David Samilla and the visceral plasticity of
Bodo Korsig’s
woodblocks
&
Karl Heinz Boyke’s paintings and
bronze sculptures; spurned on by sensation, resonate within the
intellect.
