Posted on: January 26, 2012

Description: What do you think of when you consider abstract art? Three Colorado artists show their work at the Arvada Center arvadacenter.org Time, Space and Motion Robert Mangold Retrospective works from 1955-present Jan 12 - April 1, 2012 movement, science and art come together in four distinct Mangold styles - anemotives, tetrahedralhyperspheres, I-Beams, and PTTSAAES (Point Traveling Through Space At An Erratic Speed) Lost And Found: A North Sea Collaboration Thomas Claesson & Carl Reed Jan 12 - April 1, 2012 This exhibit asks questions about what is art, can art be found, and what and why do people collect obsessively? Homare Ikeda / Monroe Hodder in partnership with William Havu Gallery Jan 12 - Apr 29, 2012 Homare Ikeda, raised near Okinawa, Japan, is often called the "Pearl of Asia". Now living in Denver, CO, Ikeda's longing for the ocean while being in the midst of mountains is reflected in his nature-inspired works. Steamboat Springs resident Monroe Hodder uses color as her most powerful language when creating her works that encapsulate the reconciliation of opposites. "My impulse is to fill up an abstract repetitive structure with the delicious disorder of paint, " Hodder says. Her striking works often feature messy bands of stark color that bend the rules and the grid.
