While not predicated on the illusionary strategies often associated with Op Art, these appear as an underlying influence. By juxtaposing similarities and differences in materials, approach, and process—from painting to sculpture to mixed media—the exhibition sets out to stimulate a satisfying push-pull between abstraction and perception.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
