Minimalism Transformed

13 November 2021 — 5 December 2021

Minimalism Transformed at Oeno Gallery presents three very different contemporary minimalist artists Tim Forbes, Aron Hill and Jana Osterman. They all create beautiful, intelligent, and engaging art objects. These artists minimalist aesthetics are open and communicative. Their work embraces personal stories, cultural context, and interactive performance, while still employing a pared down formal and material vocabulary. But, like the modern minimalists, these three artists covet high quality materials and impeccable execution.
