Dieu Donné is pleased to present an exhibition featuring select works in handmade paper created in our wet studios by artists Ian Cooper, Arturo Herrera, Kate Shepherd, Jean Shin, Allyson Strafella, and Richard Tuttle.
Exploring form, color and line, abstraction enjoys a degree of independence from what we see in the everyday world. For over a century artists have chosen abstract imagery to convey their intellectual and imaginative pursuits. This exhibition, selected by Executive Director Kathleen Flynn, shows a wide range of artists that have chosen to utilize abstraction in the creation of their work in handmade paper. Exploring techniques such as working additively, reductively, and often quite physically in pulp to build line, color and form, these artists build on the rich history of abstraction, allowing the processes unique to handmade paper to push boundaries in their work.
Handmade Abstraction will be on view from May 17 through June 25, 2011.
