Dear Friends,

Please join us next Thursday, June 16 for the last salon of the season featuring artist Seldon Yuan!


In Plain View, featuring Seldon Yuan
Thursday, June 16
6:30pm - Cocktails
7:30pm - Discussion with the artist
Seldon Yuan's work creates visual poems via "filters" or "lenses" placed between the viewer and the object viewed. Utilizing simple tools such as mirrors and clear mylar, Yuan sets up layered poetic moments where the abstract and figural interplay and the things we don't talk about are examined.
