Doris Leeper, Atlantic Center for the Arts Founder, was adept at many things but hard edge painting and large scale sculpture were her expertise. Leeper expressed herself through color variation, shape reconfiguration and abstract expressionistic color field painting. She created intriguing, illusionistic paintings and installations. To pay homage to Doris Leeper and her contributions to contemporary art, Harris House of Atlantic Center for the Arts is seeking entries for a juried art exhibition titled “Hard Edge Painting” for the month of September. #CallForArtists
