Chefas Projects brings group show, Abstract Thought, by Bobby Adams, Jordan Clark, Nate Ethington, Cody Hudson, Erik Railton, and John Vitale.
"The language of abstract art has always relied on tenets of shape, color, gesture, and composition as its core vocabulary, and each artist who takes on the task of communicating through abstraction inevitably wrestles with how to transform these elements into something of their own. This is what makes abstraction so rich and thrilling – it offers an exciting glimpse into the mind of the artist, a snapshot of how they translate the world around them into their own vibrant visual language."
