City Gallery presents ABSTRACT/ DISTRACT




With artists Judy Atlas, Joy Bush, Nancy Eisenfeld, and Roberta Friedman

City Gallery in New Haven presents ABSTRACT/ DISTRACT, a group show featuring abstract interpretations by artists Judy Atlas, Joy Bush, Nancy Eisenfeld, and Roberta Friedman from January 3 - January 27, with an Opening Reception and Artists’ Talk on Saturday, January 12, from 3:00 - 5:00pm at 994 State Street in New Haven. (Snow date January 13, 3-5)

It’s an increasingly perplexing and unbalanced world,” says Roberta Friedman. “As artists, we strive to circumvent the daily distractions and reflect on our feelings and reactions to what is happening around us.”

ABSTRACT/ DISTRACT offers the viewer a collection of more than 20 paintings, encaustics, sculptures, and photography that reflect individually and collectively the artists’ interpretations of the world. “Our exhibit is meant to be viewed deliberately, asking the viewer to consider our current predicament and how we restore thoughtfulness to our daily lives.”

The show and events are free and open to the public. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Friday - Sunday, 12 noon - 4pm. For further information please contact City Gallery, info@city-gallery.org, www.city-gallery.org.
