This exhibition will feature five major paintings and two to four works on paper by five prominent Pennsylvania artists. These artists incorporate a love of the process of painting with an interest in design, landscape, science and biology. Their painting practices are driven by: arresting time, curiosity, the linear mark, undercurrents that shape and reshape our world and atmosphere/location.
