Finally, Dana Ingesson and Alexandra Verbeek are painters of pure abstraction whose works in watercolors and oils, respectively, create dimensional surfaces and sudden horizons out of the flatness intrinsic to paper or canvas. Howard Harris and Hiroko Saigusa occupy an intermediate realm between realism and and abstraction, alluding to the principles of design while blurring any and all boundaries between decoration and illumination. Iftah Geva and Attila Mata are both sculptors who physically recreate the spatial dimensions normally relegated to paintings. While von Döhren paints utopian landscapes that veer off into dream, Lizi highlights the spatial structure of the framed canvas, making its object-like solidity appear porous by way of large, gestural strokes of paint. In Lyrical Abstraction, Agora has gathered eight artists who continue to engage this tradition, emphasizing the materiality of form and pigment without depicting illusory objects in an equally illusory space.Ĭlea von Döhren and Mao Lizi have an almost mystical intuition of spatial presentation. What has traditionally set abstraction apart from figurative modes of artmaking is that it emphasizes a non-representational space where color, line and texture can emerge.
