Cynthia Broan Gallery is pleased to announce "Back to the Future," an exhibition of abstract paintings by David Brody, Cora Cohen, Elizabeth
Conn, Elizabeth Donsky, Jason Duval, and Joyce Kim. Organized by Michael St. John, in association with Jason Duval, this exhibition investigates
the 'delivery system' of abstract painting.
Abstraction continues to be one of many pursuits by artists painting. If you go "back to the future", non-objective/abstract painting was the alternative. In the future, paint was the messenger of experience, transcendence through the visceral, an all
out assault on values, perception and notions of beauty.
This quest/thirst for assault, as time moved one, mutated into a delivery system ofassignments. Those assignments evolved into reassurances. Domesticated, programmed and predictable, abstraction became a sign of itself.
Abstraction's development into a language/knowledge of signs abandoned its ability to challenge.

The artists in this exhibition have returned to that opportunity of long, disregarding the expectant, to investigate the disregarded, and have found possibility in going back to the future.

Opening: Thurs. Feb. 28, 6 - 9pm
