The Marin Community Foundation‘s “Millennial Abstractions” features MMG’s Ali Smith along with Kim Anno and David McDonald among others.
Since the start of the new millennium, many artists have responded to the horrors of 9/11, the Iraq War, and the life-changing impacts of climate change with a fragmented, dissociative, deconstructed focus in both painting and sculpture. The work featured in this exhibit, however, is more vibrant and evocative than abstractions we have seen in the past. The artists’ choice of color, form, shapes, and mark making are transformational and inspiring in the deepest sense.
The exhibition remains on view through May 31, 2013.
