Soft Power: Mary Anne Arntzen, Sue Crawford, Wayson R. Jones, Jean Jinho Kim, Danni O’Brien
Pazo Fine Art is pleased to present SOFT POWER, a group exhibition curated by Kate Sable, featuring works by Mary Anne Arntzen, Sue Crawford, Wayson R. Jones, Jean Jinho Kim, and Danni O’Brien.
This show is the first in what is to be an annual summer exhibition, in which PFA presents artists who live and work in the greater DC area. The artists in SOFT POWER respond to the strident politicization of our times with a gentle inner strength—demonstrating how, within a society that often seems intent on opposition and antagonism, artists seek ways to constructively create. Sable brings together a selection of artists whose cross-disciplinary approaches to abstraction are guided more by intuition and the recognition of expressive potential of materials, than defined notions of medium.
An exhibition catalog with text by Kate Sable, will be published on the occasion of Soft Power and will be available for purchase at Pazo Fine Art.
Opening reception: Saturday, July 16th, 2022, 5 - 8 pm
Open by appointment Tuesday – Saturday
