WEEKEND PAINTING INTENSIVE
Leslie Shows
3 sessions >> Friday, September 22–Sunday, September 24
9 am–5pm, $450, Fort Mason Pier 2, Studio 215
Painters often describe their work as existing between abstraction and representation, and for each painter this relationship is unique. Through readings, studio experiments, and class discussions, we will investigate the perceptual, material and philosophical aspects of abstraction in painting and 2-dimensional works. Students are encouraged to bring their own work and interests to this workshop, and explore the power of abstract imagery to amplify or complicate meaning and open up a sense of possibility and psychological space within their paintings.
