Join us at Unchained.Art Contemporary Gallery for a captivating journey into the world of abstract art with our upcoming group show, Facets of Abstraction. This exhibition celebrates the unique visions of three international and three local artists who collectively bridge continents and cultures from North America to Europe.

Featured Artists:
– Luise Neuner (Austria): Her vibrant use of color and emotional depth creates a profound personal connection.
– Sara Sepulveda (Spain): Merging architectural precision with artistic expression, her textured works explore the interplay of light and memory.
– Alli Suter (San Antonio): Her international background informs her enchanting, textured pieces that evoke mystery and romance.
– witty | Erica Wittenwiler (Switzerland): Master of layers and texture, her narratives encourage viewers to find personal meaning in abstract forms.
– Jorge Nájera (San Antonio): His dynamic range of acrylic and oil paintings on unique wooden panels explores nature and urban decay.
– Nicolas Nadeau (Austin): His vibrant canvases challenge the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, blending real and imagined elements.

Facets of Abstraction not only showcases the breadth and depth of abstract art but also celebrates the individual stories and cultures that shape each artist’s approach and story. Through their diverse backgrounds and creative processes, these artists offer us a unique lens through which to view the abstract, making each piece a distinct yet interconnected part of the whole.
