The series welcomes artist Theodosia A. G. Tamborlane
Title of the presentation: Abstract Art and You — Perfect Together — What’s It All About Alfie?
“Color and movement are the soul of my abstract paintings. Colors, lines and forms are brought together in an interdependent dialogue. The coalescence of my internal feelings and of external forces allows me to express many thoughts and ideas in dynamic abstract terms. Hans Hofmann compels me to allow form to exist through color. Titles are chosen for the paintings either as the painting emerges or after my contemplation of the finished painting.”
