Abstract art transcends the boundaries of representation, embracing a spectrum that ranges from rigorous geometric forms to bold expressionistic gestures, from conventional media to innovative assemblages of found materials.
What unites these diverse approaches is a shared commitment to revealing the unseen—to excavating meaning beyond the realm of immediate perception.
This national juried exhibition features artists who draw inspiration from the profound and the mysterious: the revelations of quantum physics, the inquiries of metaphysics, the depths of spiritual experience, and the elegance of pure formal design.
We are proud to present works that challenge viewers to look deeper, think differently, and experience art as a gateway to understanding and dare to make the invisible visible and transform the ineffable into visual poetry.

Exhibition Juror: Sheri Rush
-
Sheri Rush (b. Fort Worth, Texas) is a Chicago-based painter and sculptor whose work responds to the current world by considering the intersection of identity, landscape, and recollection. Rush’s work is process-driven and dwells on the tensions between abstraction and representation. It reflects on the current danger to the forest ecosystem while in awe of the spiritual power of the natural world.
Rush holds a BFA from Texas Christian University and an MFA from the University of Chicago. Recent exhibitions include Art Cake NY, McCormick Gallery, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Rockford Art Museum, Freeport Art Museum, Ralph Arnold Gallery, The Art Center Highland Park, Arc Gallery, Hofheimer Gallery, Mu Gallery, and James Baird Gallery in Newfoundland. She has also held solo shows at Hyde Park Art Center, Evanston Art Center, and Epiphany Center for the Arts. Recent awards include a funded residency to the Pouch Cove Foundation in Newfoundland. Rush is represented by McCormick Gallery.
