This grouping of solo artists is all about color, form and abstraction. Each artist works predominantly, but not exclusively with abstraction. All of them draw from various personal experiences and, in their own way, add to the continuum of recent art history. Unlike the past, when abstraction was about limitations, today, these artists demonstrate how abstraction is a diverse mode of operation, in which possibilities are endless and the emphasis of formal qualities does not negate the importance of concept.
Decker's clay sculptures express the freedom of someone who has experienced both the cultural revolutions of his generation and the radical changes of the clay medium during the last half of the 20th Century.
Gallegos brings to her paintings a collector 's sensibility: working on canvases averaging five feet, Gallegos demonstrates a mastery of color and pattern, creating tantalizing images that harken back to the Pattern and Decoration Movement of the 1970s and the late works of Henri Matisse.
Isolde creates highly personal, meticulously composed paintings that reveal her interests in environmentalism, feminism, psychology, mythology, astrology, dreams and the history of art.
Osaka utilizes the most simple of ingredients--lines, colors, shapes--are manipulated and transformed into assertive images, often playfully delighting both our senses and our intellect.
