RSASA Inaugural Biennial Abstract Art Prize.
This exhibition accesses the total spectrum of abstraction from the pure expressionist, non-representational where there is no recognition of our experience, through to personal interpretation of scenes and people that we can recognise. From the bewildering and unknown to the safety of a known, calm image.
