An exhibition paying homage to the style of Doris Leeper, Atlantic Center for the Arts Founder. Leeper was adept at many things but hard edge painting and large-scale sculpture were her expertise. She expressed herself through color variation, shape reconfiguration and abstract expressionistic color field painting. Leeper created intriguing, illusionistic paintings and installations.
Curated by Bethany Bennett Behr (MFA), this exhibition features local and regional artists and will be on display throughout the month of September.
