“Eccentric Abstraction": Continuing a Legacy of Unique Artistry at MoCA LI
The Museum of Contemporary Art Long Island (MoCA LI) and the Patchogue Arts Council are thrilled to showcase "Eccentric Abstraction" from April 6 through June 12, 2024. This exhibition revisits the expressive and idiosyncratic style that began in the late 1960s, offering a modern continuation of the movement's tradition.
The exhibition takes place at the Museum of Contemporary Art Long Island located at 20 Terry Street, Patchogue. This artistic movement, which began in the 1960s, combined the emotive minimalism of the era with a distinct, expressive twist, earning the name 'Eccentric Abstraction'. Today's artists in the exhibition carry forward this innovative spirit, presenting works that challenge and expand on the traditional boundaries of abstract art.
This event not only highlights the creativity of contemporary artists but also celebrates the historical significance of their methods. Visitors to the exhibition can expect a vivid exploration of abstract art, where past innovations meet present creativity. A special acknowledgment is extended to Toast Coffeehouse for their support as the coffee sponsor.
