In this video: This is a recording of the Artist Talk I gave at MARK Arts, Wichita, Kansas on Jan 5, 2024 after jurying the Abstract National Exhibition, Jan 4 – March 2024. Listen as I walk you through art history, explain “What is Abstract Art,” and share how I narrowed the 978 amazing entries down to 85 works of excellence in contemporary abstraction today, while also revealing my personal jurying criteria, insights into emerging artistic trends, and valuable guidance for artists striving to refine their voice and stand out in the competitive world of abstract art.
