MICHIGAN CITY — The exhibit “Abstraction + Love” opens Oct. 30 and continues through Feb. 10 at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts, 101 W. Second St.

This exhibition provides a glimpse of where several, mostly Midwestern, contemporary artists have taken abstraction in the 21st century.

Artists showing in the exhibition include Claire Ashley, Helen Frankenthaler, Sarah Krepp, Robert Motherwell, Sandra Perlow, Julie Richman, Roland Santana, Edwin P. Shelton, Selina Trepp, Rhonda Wheatley, Bernard Williams and Molly Zuckerman-Hartung.

The works range from more solidly rooted in historic forms to quirky and experimental, from expressive, humorous animation to colorful, unruly inflatables.

"5603261," a 2015 acrylic by Bernard Williams, is one of the works that will be included in the exhibit “Abstraction + Love” from Oct. 30, 2023, to Feb. 10, 2024, at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts in Michigan City.
