Bettina Blohm's Abstract Paintings on View at SUNY College Old Westbury Through March 15

Bettina Blohm presents abstract paintings with haiku-like qualities at SUNY College Old Westbury. Her work distills emotional landscapes through an Eastern art sensibility focused on intuitive states. Drawing inspiration from Matisse's color palette and Abstract Expressionist scale, Blohm's compositions feature distinctive placement of elements. The exhibition, which opened recently, continues through March 15. Blohm's artistic practice has roots in landscape drawing, though she has developed a fully abstract visual language. The show celebrates both Bella Abzug and the historic nomination of a woman as presidential candidate by a major political party. This joint exhibition represents a significant presentation of Blohm's recent work in an academic setting.
