The Unknown and Its Poetics

A group of works by international artists that live or have lived away from their home country and have been impacted by cross-cultural influences. Artists whose abstract work engages experiences and identities related to the unknown and the construction of home.

As the Italian painter Giorgio Morandi once said, “Nothing is more abstract than reality.” The group of artists included in this survey share the ability to communicate the importance of the small poetic gesture, and explore what we call reality through the language of abstraction.
