Christina Spann: Four Takes, An Exploration of Abstract Art
opening reception: November 8, 1-4 pm
ongoing exhibition: November 8, 2024-January 3, 2025

Artist Christina Spann is excited to announce the inclusion of her abstract paintings in a four-person exhibition. The exhibition titled Four Takes will be held at the K. Newby Gallery and Sculpture Garden in Tubac, AZ. This new exhibition opens on Friday, November 8, with an opening reception from 1 to 4 pm. It opens during the Tubac Fall Artwalk. The artist will be in attendance at the opening and will be sharing insights about her art. The exhibition runs through January 3, 2025. Christina will also be participating in the Tucson Open Studio event on
November 9 through 10.

Christina is one of only four invited artists. The intention of the Four Takes exhibition at K. Newby Art Gallery is to showcase an evocative exploration of abstract art that brings together four distinct voices that challenge, inspire, and redefine the boundaries of perception. Each artist offers a unique lens, or a different “take” on abstraction resulting in a dynamic and diverse visual dialogue that speaks to the power of imagination and form.

Christina is originally from the Southwest and lives and works from her studio in Tucson, AZ. She holds a BFA in Fine Arts Drawing and Painting from Arizona State University and Masters work in Printmaking from UC Santa Barbara. She describes her art by saying, “In making fluid and fiery marks, sometimes using nature as a guidepost, my artwork has evolved into abstract emotional expression. It feels musical to me, like jazz; improvising and depicting movement in unexpected directions by layering, erasing, and exposing a composition. This is a multi-sensory physical dialogue with the various art media within my reach, and often feels like I am conducting a symphony.”
