These works occupy nearly the entire visual field of the viewer and demand attention. They range from brash and confrontational (Meese) to quiet and elegiac (Khedoori). They include self-portraiture (Pei-Ming), pure abstraction (Kowski), landscape (Kroner), minimalism (Buren), allegory (Rauch), and representation (Henning). The exhibition investigates the range of some of the best painting today

ABOUT HVCCA

The Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art opened to the public in 2004. Founded by the Marc and Livia Straus family, the not-for-profit center is dedicated to the development and presentation of new art, exhibits and interdisciplinary programs that enrich our understanding of contemporary art, its contexts, and its relationships to societal issues. The Center is committed to the enrichment of Peekskill, a multicultural community that has recreated itself as a major center for art and culture. HVCCA operates a 12,000 square foot exhibition space in Peekskill and is the primary sponsor of the Peekskill Project, an annual, city-wide exhibition of site-specific artwork. Saturdays and Sundays from 12 noon - 6pm and by appointment.
