Lean Into Abstraction Exhibition
On view in the OAC Gallery Jul 2 - 30, 2026
The Lean Into Abstraction exhibition invites artists to explore meaning through form, color, and gesture rather than literal imagery. We welcome works across all media that use non-representational language to evoke emotion and challenge perception.
Juror: Jef Gunn
Born in Seattle and shaped by the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, Jef Gunn is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work is deeply informed by both regional heritage and international study. After training in California during the 1970s, Gunn held extended residencies in Barcelona and Paris throughout the 1980s. Since the mid-90s, his practice has been defined by a passionate engagement with Asian art and multiple cultural lineages.
