6 American Galleries Highlighting Abstraction

As art exhibitions have begun to reopen amidst the continuing coronavirus pandemic, we've discovered that a number of American galleries are highlighting abstraction, even though figuration is what's generally trending today. 

Whether it's a stylistic shift or merely a coincidence, we'll have to wait and see in order to further evaluate, but what we can uncover now is that regardless of gender or age, abstraction still holds a fascination with artists and continues to convey a pictorial language that takes viewers beyond their day to day existence.

Rounding up six recently opened shows in Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, New York, and Miami, we offer a contemplative tour of some of the ways artists are using abstraction today.
