Transcending Language: Beyond Figuration

March 13 - May 01,2021

From Flatbed: "Flatbed is pleased to present a special collection of works created by artists at Flatbed whose practice has focused entirely on non-objective abstraction.  This exhibition was curated out of our deep archive of works from the thirty years that we have operated as a collaborative print studio in Austin. The exhibition prints range greatly in scale and style, but all share in their commitment to the use of non-figurative abstraction.  It might seem as if each artist has developed a new language that speaks perfectly to us without translation.  As music can transcend words, so visual abstraction transcends audible language as well. Sharing these sensibilities are the artists:  Taiko Chandler (Denver, Colorado), Ann Conner (Wilmington, NC), John Robert Craft (Clarendon, TX,) Anna Craycroft (New York, NY), Anthony DiMichele (New York, NY), Winston Lee Mascarenhas (Dallas, TX), Denny McCoy (Wimberley, TX), Samson Mnisi (Johannesburg, South Africa), Greg Murr (Berlin, Germany), John OBuck (New York, NY), John Pavlicek (Houston, TX), Larry Scholder (deceased Dallas, TX), Joe Segal (St. Augustine, FL), Bettie Ward (Santa Fe, NM), and Joan Winter (Dallas, TX)."
