About the Event

A trio of exciting abstract artists will show at the popular “Expressions in the Abstract” exhibit at the Borrego Art Institute starting Nov. 9 in the McQuown-Wermers Gallery.

The colorful abstract paintings and mixed media of Antonio Escalante are personal representations of the landscape in which his work is made, be it the sea, desert, mountains or built environment. Through intimacy and abstraction, he creates a compelling visual narrative.

Painter Jennifer McHugh’s loose, free-flowing work features emotional pieces influenced by the everyday and her response to it. “My work serves as a visual journal, and my hope is that each viewer interprets a story, an inspiration, as unique and spontaneous as what moved me to paint it,” she said.

Mixed media artist Robert Wright will present assemblages made from detritus of the Southwest that invite inquiry and contemplation. “Happenstance and serendipity are integral in the revival of these objects,” Wright said. “Giving them a new purpose and a second chance is the pleasure of presenting this body of work.”

The opening reception is Nov. 9 from 5-7 p.m. The show runs through Dec. 8. Music will be provided by the jazz duo The Baker Brothers. For more information, visit borregoartinstitute.org.
