Abstract Expressionism
Abstraction allows a man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes.
Arshile Gorky
This gallery is an homage to the action painters of Ninth Street in New York after WW II who broke away from traditional processes and created works using energetic and gestural brushstrokes. Their art was often spontaneous and frequently showed motion or implied movement but possessed a structure based on colour, shape, form, line and value.
